Maren Ellery came home to sell a house. She didn't expect to find the woman she had spent eleven years trying to forget.
The old guesthouse at Bellwether Point was supposed to be an easy transaction: clear the rooms, sign the papers, and leave before the memories became unbearable. But Tamsin Vale is still there, living among the creaking floors and salt-stained windows, carrying on as though the past hasn't spent eleven years waiting for them both.
Tamsin remembers the girl who left without a goodbye. Maren remembers the woman she was too afraid to love.
With a failing building, a deadline they cannot ignore, and a truth buried in the letters Maren's aunt left behind, they have only a few days to decide what the guesthouse is worth.
Neither woman expects the answer to involve the other.
But some homes are easier to abandon than the people who made them feel like home.
