A house filled with well-kept secrets. A delicate balance of order and control. A story of a life ripped apart by grief and blame… ...and the whirlwind of colour and optimism who turns his existence upside down… ...with the strength of her love.

Loss and deceit: heartache that destroys hope. William Marshall-Croft locks himself away once more, punishing himself for his mistakes and keeping all that he loves at arm's length. But the light that had seeped into his life in the form of Josephine Bell is too powerful to ignore. A realisation that pushing away his demons won’t make them disappear has him swallowing his pride and battling them head on. In the face of adversity, William is desperate to keep the tattered strings of life from fraying, and to give Josephine everything she deserves with the strength of his love...even though it may be too late.
