    Summary

    Teenage dreams led Claire and Jamie down diverging paths, separate lives carved out of youthful ambition. Hometown holidays became fleeting reunions, stolen moments clinging to the ghost of teenage love. But something shifted, something broke. With an engagement, a secret took root and a daughter was born. Years later, Claire returns to Inverness with Faith, drawn back to the familiar town and the shadow of an unresolved past. Some loves leave an indelible mark, and some secrets refuse to stay buried, especially when fate has other plans.
