The Key to the Last House Befor - Liz Eeles

Tears trickling down her cheeks, she recognises her grandmother's writing scrawled across the manila envelope. Inside is an engraved key that sits heavy in her hand. Will the tumbledown cottage be the start of a new life – or will it tear her life apart?

With her back to the sparkling sea, single mum Nessa stands in the doorway of the stone cottage her grandmother left behind. If she can just fix up the crumbling walls and make the empty hearth cosy again, it will be the perfect home for her little daughter Lily – and their only option if they want to stay in the village of Heaven's Cove. But a rap on the door soon shatters her plans.

Although Gabriel Gantwich has a smile on his handsome face, the papers he's clutching say his father's company owns the house. They plan to knock it down, destroying Nessa's last link to her family history – and Lily's last hope for a home in Heaven's Cove.

Reeling, Nessa is furious that an outsider could take away her child's future. She has just thirty days to renovate the cottage – and prove it's hers. As she and Gabriel clash over every detail, Nessa barely notices that even though they argue, their talks are fuelled by the same passion. And beneath his tough exterior, Gabriel appreciates the beauty of the sunset bathing the clifftop cottage in soft pink light as much as she does.

But one stormy night, Nessa gets a desperate phone call about Lily. Forced to choose between her family's past and her daughter's future, will she end up losing everything? Or will Gabriel finally realise what truly matters, and help Nessa make this beautiful place a home?

An absolutely stunning, heartbreaking and uplifting read that will sweep you away to the wild Devon coast. Perfect for anyone who loves Trisha Ashley, Debbie Macomber and Jean Grainger.

This book can be enjoyed as a standalone.
