But it all felt emptier now without Aunt Lydia… Caitlin used to adore visiting Aunt Lydia at her Dune Island cottage with its quaint adjoining windmill. Caitlin promised her aunt she’d return and see the island once the leaves turned golden in the fall so they could drink spiced hot cocoa and cozy up together in the windmill loft. But Caitlin blamed herself for a terrible tragedy that struck her final summer. She had no choice but to flee the island and never came back.Now Aunt Lydia is gone, leaving Caitlin both her cottage, and a mysterious request: Caitlin must return to the island for the first time in years and renovate the windmill.Despite the weight of her grief, Caitlin’s heart lifts when she strolls in the crisp autumn air along the dunes before baking apple cinnamon muffins in Lydia’s kitchen. And as her renovations begin, sparks even fly between her and handsome local carpenter Shane. Caitlin doesn’t let her guard down easily, but Shane’s warm charm gets under her skin…But then they uncover an old, handwritten note tucked away in the windmill. The note contains a shocking revelation that changes everything Caitlin thought she knew about why she left so abruptly all those years ago…Was this Aunt Lydia’s plan all along? Will confiding in Shane help Caitlin find the courage to discover the truth—or will she run from Dune Island as quickly as she arrived?An absolutely stunning page-turner that will whisk you away to a cottage by the sea.
