Can you ever really leave the past behind? Australian author, Cathryn Hein returns with a heartfelt romance about loss and new beginnings. A compelling rural romance, with a healthy sprinkling of suspense and family drama. Jasmine Thomas should feel safe in her cozy cottage at Admella Beach after finally putting an end to an ill-advised romance. But, her perfect sanctuary is shattered with the arrival of hand-delivered threatening notes. Someone has discovered her secret. When the notes escalate to vandalism, Jasmine's anxiety rises. But, in such a small place, telling the police would mean the whole town finding out. Digby Wallace-Jones is stumbling through the motions of life, wrapped in a fog of grief since his fiancé Felicity died. Withdrawn from his family, Digby doesn't care about anything beyond his loss. But, in a chance meeting with Jasmine, his sister's best friend who he's known forever, even he can see the tension she carries. Worried and feeling protective, he continues to drop by, but it's more than that. Jasmine soothes him; and, unlike the rest of his family, he can talk to her about his pain without fear of judgement. But, as much as he likes Jasmine, Digby's enduring love for Felicity means he has nothing left to give and he pushes Jasmine away. Jasmine knew they were supposed to stay friends 'with excellent benefits' but she can't help her wayward heart from falling for this tortured, kind and sexy man. How can she ever loosen the grip Felicity's memory has on Digby's soul and remind him he still has a life ahead of him?
