For Kit, the quiet Devon village she visits every year is the perfect retreat. But this summer, she arrives with a heart in turmoil: years have passed since Kit last saw Jake, but now he has written asking to meet again.

For Mungo, the village is simply home and the ideal getaway for friends, like Kit, even if he aches at the old memories they bring – and the secrets they stir in him.

As the summer unfolds, hidden truths are uncovered that will shatter the sleepy community. But those involved soon realise that the only way to move forward might be to confront the past . . .
