Bøger af Jane Griffiths

Arrive a stranger in Polwenna Bay, the picturesque Cornish fishing village full of drama and surprises, and leave as a friend. The heart is a deep ocean of treasure... For twenty-two years Issie Tremaine's wild behaviour has driven her family to distraction. Now, with the future she'd dreamed of in tatters, she's returned home to try and forget the past. When a huge winter storm and the arrival of a handsome stranger cause upheaval in the village there is an even greater tempest in Issie's heart. Dare she trust again? Or will she only face more betrayal? As a professional treasure hunter, American Luke Anderson can't risk any distractions. With his reputation hanging in the balance he's staking everything on a major find in England and daren't let anyone get in his way. Not even the passionate and free spirited girl he can't stop thinking about. Alice Tremaine's world has been her family. Since the death of her daughter-in-law she's single handedly raised her grandchildren, often at the expense of her own happiness. Now they are grown up, Alice is resigned to a quiet life in Polwenna Bay until her past returns to challenge her and awaken a love she'd thought long lost ... With a stormy start to the New Year, secrets and fears are swept away with the crashing tides and long forgotten truths are laid bare. What treasure lies beneath the ocean and in the hidden depths of hearts? And who will be brave enough to claim it?
