What happens when your heart is pulled in two different directions? Who do you choose?
Lili’s life is about to change but not in the way she imagined. Living in a lovely, rental apartment in Kew with her boyfriend, Alex, she has just completed a horticulture degree and hopes to get her dream job at Kew Gardens.
When Alex surprises her with a break away on the Suffolk Coast, in a grand hotel on the sea front, Lili assumes he is whisking her away on a romantic weekend to propose. However, they weren’t celebrating their engagement, but Alex’s new job in Washington – something she knew nothing about.
Lili has a life in London, friends, but there was a reason he assumed she would drop everything to go with him; Lili, an orphan with a mysterious past, has no ties, no family to keep her here – except Hannah. Best friends since their schooldays, she was like the family Lili never had.
When Hannah arrives on her doorstep, on the day they were leaving, asking Lili for a huge favour, she is forced to make an impossible choice. Leaving for the Suffolk Coast, without Alex, a chance encounter sends Lili on a journey to discover the secrets from her past. Now Lili must decide where her future lies and with whom . . .
