Two children in a police waiting room, two distressed mothers, a memory only half remembered... When Jenny Simpson returns to the seaside town of Borteen, her childhood home, it's for a less than happy reason. But it's also a chance for her to start again. A new job leads to her working for Carver Rodgers, a man who lives alone in a house that looks like it comes from the pages of a fairy tale - until you see the disaster zone inside ... As Jenny gets to know Carver she begins to unravel the sadness that has led to his chaotic existence. Gradually they realise they have something in common that is impossible to ignore - and it all links back to a meeting at a police station many years before. Could the truth lie just beneath their feet? AUTHOR: Morton S. Gray lives with her husband, sons and Lily, the tiny dog, in Worcestershire, U.K. She has been reading and writing fiction for as long as she can remember, penning her first attempt at a novel aged fourteen, the plot of which closely resembled an Errol Flynn film. Life got in the way of writing for many years, until she won a short story competition and the spark for writing was well and truly reignited. She carries a notebook everywhere as inspiration strikes in the most unlikely places. She studied creative writing with the Open College of the Arts and joined the Romantic Novelists' Association New Writers' Scheme in 2012.
