      La maison du bord de mer est un petit hôtel de charme sur la côte anglaise. Un lieu idyllique, où l’on peut apprécier quelques jours hors du temps. La propriétaire, Claire Marlowe, veille à ce que tout fonctionne bien. Et c’est le cas, jusqu’à l’arrivée de clients qui vont faire vaciller le bel équilibre… Ces hôtes arrivent pour un week-end prolongé avec leur lourd passé comme bagages. Il y a, par exemple, un couple qui cherche à oublier une tragédie familiale. Un homme qui tente de se racheter après avoir commis un acte amèrement regretté. Et puis il y a cette jeune femme qui pense que ce joli bord de mer pourrait détenir la clé de son passé. Les hasards de la vie ont réuni ces hommes et ces femmes dont les destins s’entrecroisent pour, finalement, être bouleversés à tout jamais.

As Elena begins to open her heart to new adventures she meets a man who is guarding his own secrets. From France's sun-drenched lavender fields to the ancient heart of Italy, together they will follow a path of secret scents, distant memories and new hopes . . .

      "Cherry, Maggie and Rose are mother, daughter and granddaughter, each with their own hopes, dreams and even sorrows. They have always been close, so when, in a moment of impulse, Cherry buys a gorgeous but rundown pub in the village she grew up in, it soon becomes a family affair. All three women uproot themselves and move to Rushbrook, deep in the heart of Somerset, to take over The Swan and restore it to its former glory. Cherry is at the helm, Maggie is in charge of the kitchen, and Rose tends the picturesque garden that leads down to the river. Before long, the locals are delighted to find the beating heart of the village is back, bringing all kinds of surprises through the door. Could Cherry's impulse purchase change all their lives - and bring everyone the happiness they're searching for?"--Publisher
