The Wife at the Last House Before the Sea: An absolutely unforgettable and stunning page-turner - Paperback

by Liz Eeles (Author)

A single tear falls as the elderly lady folds the delicate silk wedding dress and packs it away for the very last time. Memories haunt her of the day she became a wife. She shakes them off - it's no use holding on to old secrets. But when a newcomer to the village starts asking questions, will she have to finally tell the truth?

Emma breathes a sigh of nervous excitement as she hangs up the beautiful ivory dress. Heartbroken and with her divorce freshly signed, the anonymous donation of a stunning wedding gown is just what Emma needs for her new adventure: selling unique clothing from her own vintage shop, tucked away amidst the winding streets of Heaven's Cove.

Not everyone in the village is welcoming. Handsome Leo runs the bespoke suit shop next door - and his uptight father Robert doesn't approve of the vintage store's quirky style. But Emma's fears that she was wrong to uproot her old life fade the more time she spends with Leo. Because a warm heart lies behind his brooding exterior...

Their new connection is called into question when Robert sees the silk wedding dress. The usually emotionless older man is shocked at the sight of the gown: but refuses to say what's wrong. Together, Emma and Leo promise to solve the mystery of who the dress belonged to - and why Robert is so shaken. Their questions around Heaven's Cove lead them to an empty manor house, a wedding that happened years ago, and a family who haven't been seen around the village since...

But the closer they get to answers, the more pain they could cause Robert. And when a shocking revelation about Leo's family comes to light, Emma must question everything. Is it time to run from Heaven's Cove as quickly as she arrived? Or if she finally finds the truth about the wife who wore the wedding dress, could it heal her - and Leo's - heart for good?

A totally stunning and addictive read about new love, old secrets and a charming village by the sea. Fans of Debbie Macomber, Faith Hogan and Barbara O'Neal will be completely swept away.
