‘Cressida's characters are wonderful’ Sarah Morgan
The most romantic house in Cornwall has got a new owner…
Journalist Georgie Monroe has watched as it has been transformed into a high-tech glass palace, renovated by a mystery buyer.
When she’s invited to report on an event there, she comes face to face not only with her first love, architect Ethan Sparks, but also with their complicated past. Finding themselves trapped inside when the house malfunctions, Georgie realises that they — and the house — are still keeping secrets.
But have Georgie and Ethan left it too late to start again, or can they write the next chapter of their love story together?
‘I thoroughly enjoyed this locked-room romance! Absolutely gorgeous!’ Sam Holland
