Summary

1963. When Eleanor meets famous young poet Lyndon Chance, he offers a way to flee her abusive father. In return, she must pretend to be Lyndon's wife. He takes her home to a Tudor manor on the Camel Estuary in Cornwall, where she finds herself in the middle of a feud between Lyndon and his twin brother, Oliver. It's soon clear that the old house hides many dark secrets. But could they be a threat to Eleanor?

Now. Taylor has come to idyllic Cornwall to research for her Master's thesis, combining her love for conservation with a personal interest in Chance's poetry. Haunted by her own tragic past, Taylor finds Chance's notoriety fascinating. If only the poet's grandson, Julius, wasn't so determined to thwart her attempts to uncover his family secrets.

As Eleanor realises she's out of her depth at Estuary House, drawn to Lyndon like a moth to a flame, Taylor and Julius must fight their own attraction—but could shadows from the past tear them all apart?

A stunning and richly evocative timeslip, perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley, Santa Montefiore and Kate Morton.

loved it!

I don't always leave a review but feel compelled to this time as it was such a lovely book..... I didn't want to stop listening... I love time slip listens and how the stories merge together with their twists and turns. This was the first one I actually hadn't predicted the outcome and was so nice to be surprised.
I'm quite sad I've finished it!
Beautifully read too, so many books are doing by poor narrative.
So I highly recommend this audiobook!

Beautifully read story

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and already have another of the authors in my library. But the reader was absolutely excellent and will be looking for others she has read.

A Wonderful Little Book!

This is a wonderful little book. For the last five hours I couldn't stop listening! An excellent plot and so well written. I came to this book because of the beautiful voice of Lucy Scott. It is my fifth novel that I have listened to narrated by Lucy. She has the most perfect voice for good story telling! I only wish there were more books by this author on audiable. Jane Holland definitely knows how to write a great story! I highly recommend this book and I have enjoyed every minute! Thank you to Jane Holland and to Lucy Scott for providing 10 hours of great listening!
