Publisher's summary

An 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.

Excellent Story

I immediately fell in love with Lucy and Claire. The history and the intertwined fates of the women in this story were amazing. I couldn't stop listening to it.

Loved this one, too

This is my second of this series and even though I read them out of order they were both independently great as well as continuing the story. Can't wait for the next one!

Drama filled

I had to listen to it twice because i was getting lost. Clunky transitions between time periods. But, the story line was captivating and I was hooked to know what happened next!

Very enjoyable

The story kept me involved. I loved the protagonist. Things came together more quickly than reality would permit, but still a good listen
