A love that burns through the decades... Mia Ferris's heart has always belonged in Spain. Every childhood summer was spent at her grandfather's hacienda, riding together amongst the olive trees or listening to his stories of the past. So when she learns that he has fallen from his horse, she knows that she belongs by his bedside - even if it means leaving behind her life in London, and her new fiancé. But as Leonardo fights for his life, and Mia to save the family home from financial ruin, secrets begin to emerge that tell a different story of the past - a terrible history that begins with a boy running for his life over the Andalusian hills, and ends with a forbidden love that only war can destroy... As Mia untangles the passions and betrayals of the past, everything she thought she knew is turned upside down. Can she heal the wounds of the past, and face the truth of her own heart? A sweeping novel of passionate love, betrayal and redemption, set against the turmoil and tragedy of the Spanish Civil War. *** Praise for Caroline Montague: Enthralling... snared us in an ever-tightening circle of love and despair, secrets and forgiveness' Joanna Lumley 'Thoroughly engrossing' Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey 'Passionate characters with back stories laced with secrets and true historical events, set against the harsh beauty of Andalucía, guarantee hours of escape in this wonderful saga' Angela Petch
