Description
Book SynopsisAn Amazon Charts bestseller. A gripping novel about family secrets…and coming home for the first time. Still grieving the loss of her wandering, free-spirited mother, Lucy Kincaid leaves Nashville for the faded town of Cape Hudson, Virginia. She goes to see the house she’s inherited—one she never knew existed, bequeathed to her by a woman she’s never even met. At the heart of this mystery is the hope that maybe—just maybe—this “Winter Cottage” will answer the endless questions about her mother’s past…including the identity of her birth father. Rather than the quaint Virginian bungalow Lucy expected, Winter Cottage is a grand old estate of many shadows—big enough to hold a century of secrets, passions, and betrayals. It also comes with a handsome and enigmatic stranger, a man next in line to claim Lucy’s inheritance. Now, as Lucy sifts through the past, uncovering the legacy of secrets that Winter Cottage holds, she’ll come to discover as much about her family history as she does about herself. In searching, she could finally find the one thing she’s never really had: a home.
Trade Review“There is mystery and intrigue as the author weaves a tale that pulls you in…This is a story of strong women, who persevere…It’s a love story, the truest, deepest kind…And it’s the story of a woman who years later was able to right a wrong and give a home to the people who really needed it. It’s layered brilliantly, hints are revealed subtly, allowing the reader to form conclusions and fall in love…” —Smexy Books “Offering a look into bygone days of the gentrified from the early 1900s up until the present time, mystery and romance are included along with a multifaceted tale that is sure to please.” —The New York Journal of Books
