About the book

Hannah Barry has always believed she knew her family, until the day she learns the truth: the man she called “Da” was not her biological father, and the people she’s loved most have been keeping secrets her whole life. Now the farmhouse overlooking Roone Bay feels unfamiliar, and the home she thought she had is suddenly out of reach.

When the Englishman, Justin Sanders, arrives in the village, searching for his long-lost grandfather, he believes Hannah’s family holds the key to the mystery he’s desperate to solve. As they work together to uncover the past, the two share moments of warmth and understanding, and Hannah finds herself drawn to his gentle, steady presence. But the closer they get, the more Hannah realizes the truth the village has kept buried for decades could destroy everything—her family, her sense of belonging, and the love she’s only just begun to trust. Set against the rugged beauty of Ireland’s southern coast, this is an unforgettable story of family secrets, lost identities, and the chance at love that can heal even the deepest wounds. Fans of Susanne O’Leary, Tricia O’Malley, and Kathleen McGurl will be captivated by Hannah’s journey to find home and heart. The author recommends reading in order. This is Book 4 in the series.
