FATE BROKE HER HEART β¦
Itβs been ten years since Lucy Carter Maxwell lost her soulmate. Having hidden from love ever since, sheβs stunned to find it pulling at her when she discovers an old, forgotten box of Gabeβs photographs.
Desperate to find the hope she has been searching for, Lucy begins to unravel the secrets that Gabe left behind.
β¦ CAN NEW LOVE SET HER FREE?
The journey leads Lucy to Italy and into the path of Dr. Dax Armstrong. The pain in his sad, intense eyes, matches Lucyβs own β his touch reignites her in a way that no one has since Gabe.
Afraid of these newly awakened parts of herself, Lucy can feel the comfort of her old life tugging at her. But with an earth-shattering secret waiting in the shadows, can Lucy ever embrace love, if she doesnβt embrace the truth?
A devastating love story about fate, and the enduring power of love. Perfect for fans of David Nicholls, Paige Toon and Claire Daverley.
