Dark secrets in the Deep South and one unforgettable summer. This is Tasmina Perry at her breathtaking best.
THE HOUSE ON SUNSET LAKE from the Sunday Times bestseller Tasmina Perry is a heart-wrenching love story bejewelled with mysteries and dark secrets, set in the Deep South. If you loved Santa Montefiore's THE GYPSY MADONNA or THE HOUSE ON BELLEVUE GARDENS by Rachel Hore you will adore losing yourself in this book.
A family secret. A house in ruin. A mystery to unravel...
Casa D'Or, the mysterious plantation house on Sunset Lake, has been in the Wyatt family for over fifty years. Jennifer Wyatt returns there from university full of hope, as summer by the lake stretches ahead of her. Yet by the time it is over her heart will be broken, her family in tatters, her dreams long gone.
Twenty years later, Casa D'Or stands neglected, a victim of tragic events. Jennifer has closed the door on her past. Then Jim, the man she met and fell in love with that magical summer, comes back into her life, with a plan to return Casa D'Or to its former glory. Their reunion will stir up old ghosts for both of them, and reveal the dark secrets the house still holds close...
