When Emma Montague left the strict confines of upper-
crust British life for New York, she felt sure it would
make her happy. Away from her parents and expectations,
she felt liberated, throwing herself into Manhattan life
replete with a high-paying job, a gorgeous apartment, and
a string of successful boyfriends. But the cutthroat
world of finance and relentless pursuit of more began to
take its toll. This wasn’t the life she wanted either.
On the move again, Emma settles in the picturesque
waterfront town of Westport, Connecticut, a world apart
from both England and Manhattan. It is here that she
begins to confront what it is she really wants from her
life. With no job, and knowing only one person in town,
she channels her passion for creating beautiful spaces
into remaking the dilapidated cottage she rents from
Dominic, a local handyman who lives next door with his
six-year-old son.
Unlike any man Emma has ever known, Dominic is confident,
grounded, and committed to being present for his son
whose mother fled shortly after he was born. They become
friends, and slowly much more, as Emma finds herself
feeling at home in a way she never has before.
But just as they start to imagine a life together as a
family, fate intervenes in the most shocking of ways. For
the first time, Emma has to stay and fight for what she
loves, for the truth she has discovered about herself, or
risk losing it all.
In a novel of changing seasons, shifting lives, and
selfless love, a story unfolds—of one woman’s far-
reaching journey to discover who she is truly meant to
be…
