A novel by Sally Forbes
Haunted by a tragic shipwreck and the ghosts of a friend he couldn't save, Charles, the reclusive Duke of Northwood, has built walls around his heart and his grand estate. But an invitation to a neighboring summer house party opens a gateway to the unexpected.
Miss Lydia Waverly, radiant and kind-hearted, has always shone brightly. Yet, the loss of her cherished cousin two years ago cast a shadow over her light. This summer, an invitation to her best friend's house party promises a fresh start. Among the attendees is the enigmatic Duke of Northwood, a man whose secrets are entwined with her cousin’s final moments at sea.
Charles Everard, the Duke of Northwood, bears the scars of a devastating shipwreck, both physical and emotional. The walls of Northwood once provided solace, but now they feel like chains. As the summer winds signal change, Lydia's presence at a summer house party in a neighboring estate captures his attention. Drawn to her with an intensity rivaling the tides that once nearly claimed him, her laughter, determination, and gentle intrusion into his solitude push him to face his demons.
As the pair grow closer, bonding over their shared love for music and poetry, the shadows of Charles's past begin to encroach. The haunting memory of a friend he couldn't save, along with Lydia's silent ties to that tragic voyage, places their burgeoning relationship in peril. Can their love endure the heavy weight of past grief, or will it too fall prey to Charles's haunted past?
