When a secret threatens to destroy everything, can love repair the damage? Salvatore has lost everything: his wife, his business and his dignity. When he is involved in a life-changing accident, all that remains is his daughter, Nadia. Issac returns to Abruzzo looking for work, he meets Alina in Laroscia. The teenager tells him about the garden at the top of the village, where there is sadness growing among the weeds. Meanwhile, Le Stelle, the hotel in Sant’Andrea, welcomes back Louise and Ben for an Easter break. But Ben has his own secret and Rachel and Luca must wait until he reveals it. Nadia convinces her father to allow Issac to restore her mother’s much loved garden and a chance remark sends Salvatore on a voyage of rediscovery, but fear of failure means he must keep his own secret. Riccardo, an Italian lawyer, takes on Salvatore’s legal case for compensation and discovers a discrepancy that once revealed could ruin more than just friendships, but also family and a new love. With Alina’s help, the garden transforms and along with the new blooms that emerge, so do new opportunities and the need to divulge the secrets. Will the truth destroy everything, or can love be the glue that holds it all together and can everybody start anew? Discover these secrets in book three of the Abruzzo Series.
