✦ Synopsis

When Charlotte Ryan visits her family in Dorset she is happy to escape her orderly existence, but is unable to run away from the disillusion of marriage in 1920’s England. So when her mother offers Charlotte a chance to travel abroad to see an old friend, she accepts immediately with the wane hope that her husband will go too.

Arriving at an idyllic house in Madison Creek, California, Charlotte can only be reminded of what she has left behind. With her boisterous family helping to keep her distracted, she is unprepared for the fateful encounter with their hosts’ son … Jonathan Hollister. Taking tentative steps to rediscover her physical and emotional needs, Charlotte is confronted by a devastating choice – a terrible dilemma between love and betrayal.

Tami Egonu is a proud bibliophile with a penchant for naughty but tasty food and overpriced cocktails, much to the amusement of the many characters residing in her head who get up to all sorts of mischief, depending on how potent the cocktail (they think it’s a hoot that she’s now writing in the third person). When she isn’t eating or drinking, Tami loves to take long walks (it helps her hips and head to stay on track) and she adores travelling to all points of this precious earth. New characters, including ghosts, often invite themselves into her world and always charm their way into a novel. She has written six novels – contemporary and historical, including romance and horror.
