Some guests have come for a holiday, others for hidden
reasons of their own . . .
When their father's death leaves them impoverished, Sarah Summers
and her genteel sisters fear they will be forced to sell the house
and separate to earn livelihoods as governesses or companions.
Determined to stay together, Sarah convinces them to open their
seaside home to guests to make ends meet and provide for their
ailing mother. Instead of the elderly invalids they expect to
receive, however, they find themselves hosting eligible gentlemen.
Sarah is soon torn between a growing attraction to a mysterious
Scottish widower and duty to her family.
Viola Summers wears a veil to cover her scar. When forced to choose
between helping in her family's new guest house and earning money
to hire a maid to do her share, she chooses the latter. She
reluctantly agrees to read to some of Sidmouth's many invalids,
preferring the company of a few elders with failing eyesight to the
fashionable guests staying in their home. But when her first client
turns out to be a wounded officer in his thirties, Viola soon
wishes she had chosen differently. Her new situation exposes her
scars--both visible and those hidden deep within--and her
cloistered heart will never be the same.
Join the Summers sisters on the Devonshire coast, where they
discover the power of friendship, loyalty, love, and new
beginnings.
