About the book

From the tranquil shores of Melbourne Bayside to the sun-drenched landscapes of Provence, Sophie embarks on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering an unknown family and the hidden truths they kept from her. As she delves into the shadows of the past, Sophie must summon her inner strength to confront the secrets that shaped her world.

Tasked with restoring justice and honouring a legacy, Sophie takes on the mission of returning three precious paintings to their rightful owners, a promise made during the turmoil of WWII. Along this path, she encounters Theo, a man who challenges her deeply and pushes her emotional boundaries.

To reconcile the past and embrace a hopeful future, Sophie must navigate the intricate web of lies and hidden truths that could either derail her or set her free. In a tale woven with romance, historical intrigue, and the enduring impact of wartime secrets, Sophie’s quest is not just about finding lost art but also about finding herself.
