From the acclaimed author of Sheltering Rain comes an intensely moving story of two women whose lives entwine through a lovely seaside house.
The tiny, well-ordered seaside village of Merham holds little to interest the adventurous -- except for Arcadia, the breathtaking art deco house perched above the shoreline.

Years later another young woman comes to Merham. A designer hired to make over the now-empty Arcadia, Daisy Parsons seeks a new beginning, as Lottie once did. Fleeing a broken relationship, Daisy finds refuge at Arcadia, and something more -- a love she thought she would never know again. Views: 780

The stark naked body was lying in the tub. Not unusual for a proper bath, but highly irregular for murder -- especially with a pair of gold pince-nez deliberately perched before the sightless eyes. What's more, the face appeared to have been shaved after death. The police assumed that the victim was a prominent financier, but Lord Peter Wimsey, who dabbled in mystery detection as a hobby, knew better. In this, his first murder case, Lord Peter untangles the ghastly mystery of the corpse in the bath. Views: 780
I fell hard for Cade the moment I met up with those bedroom eyes of his, but it’s not my heart I’m interested in gifting him.
Cade James is my best friend’s brother, well bred and well bed. To him I’m just another plaything, but I can’t blame him for that. I’m not much to look at, and there’s not a man on the planet that would be willing to make me his own.
But Cade is pulling me deeper, asking questions, wanting to know what makes me tick—wanting to know who gave me the scar that takes up the landscape over half my face.
Cade wants far more than what I’m willing to give him. If I let him in, let him into the most sacred chamber of my heart, I might end up with a wound far greater than the one that left that scar.
The wound Cade James has the power to inflict could never heal.

Sophie, meanwhile, enlists the help of Joseph Miller, paranormal expert and part-time caretaker at her church. Joseph Miller is determined to do whatever he can to help the Fullwoods and the spirit, and he’ll even do whatever he can to save the soul of Trenton Price.

Two strangers, six weeks, the social experiment says the odds are in their favor, Violet and Lane might just prove them wrong.
To say Lane Cooper simply broke my heart is letting him off easy. Our breakup was one for the ages complete with roaring shouting matches, eviscerated feelings, and the hostile exchange of belongings via our best friends. Of course I did my part in the aftermath and unfollowed him on all social media sites as the ultimate kiss off. I don’t want Lane anywhere near my radar ever again.
Violet Hathaway was the love of my life until the night we unraveled faster than a second-hand sweater. I wasn’t going to enroll in Dexter Houston’s social experiment that’s shaking up the campus but in the name of research, and given the fact my coach coerced the entire team to sign up, I’m in for whatever sin Dexter throws our way. But when my assignment consists of confronting an ex in front of a live audience I have serious regrets for ever penning my name on the dotted line. And working to reconnect for weeks afterwards? Not happening. But if Vi isn’t backing down then neither am I. And at exactly seven o’ clock in the University auditorium, Violet and I are going to get one last moment in the sun. Here’s hoping I don’t get burned. I’m still not over the first fire we walked through.
