The Writer of Sea Thrift House - Paperback

by Kate Lamb (Author)

HER LIE. HIS SECRET. A SUMMER THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

After splitting from her actor boyfriend Jake, deaf sign-language teacher Cassie Carmichael escapes to Sea Thrift House, a weather-beaten estate on Cornwall's windswept North Atlantic coast. She expects nothing more than a quiet summer placement teaching five-year-old Flynn Fallon how to sign before he begins school. Simple, predictable, safe.

She doesn't expect Gabriel Fallon.

Flynn's uncle and guardian is a reclusive author with guarded eyes and a presence she can't ignore. He also has a beautiful fiancée and a baby on the way, every reason for Cassie to keep her distance. Yet the attraction between them is immediate and unsettling, and the small lie Cassie tells to protect herself soon feels far more dangerous than the truth.

Then Cassie discovers a hidden photograph, one that hints at a darker story beneath the family's polished surface. Deceit and duplicity linger in the halls of Sea Thrift House, tangled with the painful bond Gabriel shares with his nephew and the confusing pull he feels toward Cassie.

She came for a peaceful summer.

Instead, she finds a secret that could change everything, and a man she may not have the strength to resist.

• Employer/Employee
