A lyrical and suspenseful tale of identity, destiny, and the inescapable pull of the past. After completing her studies in France, Chloe Winter travels to the Isle of Man to visit her brother and sister-in-law—only to find herself caught in a web of inexplicable dreams, uncanny recognition, and buried histories that seem to echo through her very soul. What begins as a simple holiday quickly turns a man she feels she’s known forever, a mysterious voice calling her across time, and visions from another life that refuse to fade. Torn between two compelling men—one a familiar stranger, the other dangerously magnetic—Chloe is drawn into an ancient mystery that may hold the key to her own true self. Island in Waiting is a moody and evocative psychological mystery, perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Susanna Kearsley, and Mary Stewart.
