Just hours after her beloved mother’s funeral, Elaine Carson discovers she was adopted at birth, and that her real mother is Carrie Williams, a best-selling author.
Feeling lost and alone, and with nothing solid tying her to her life in Essex, Elaine travels to Cornwall to trace her birth mother.
She meets Frank Templeton, the owner of a local antiques shop and Carrie’s husband, who informs her his wife is away on business.
Elaine is forced to stay quiet for now, but hopes to pass the time peacefully, working as Frank’s assistant.
However, Elaine’s new life becomes even more complicated when she grows attached to Adrian, the widowed owner of a local riding school, and his son Lee.
As the past she has left behind refuses to let her go, her secret threatens to tear her fresh life apart.
Will Elaine find the courage to reveal all?
Or does she stand to lose her new-found happiness?
