Synopsis

From the bestselling author of the Ship of Brides, also available from Book Bargains.

Love goes deeper than you think.

When Mike Dormer heads out from London to a small seaside town in Australia to kick-start a multi-million pound hotel development, he expects just another money-making deal, and a step up the corporate ladder.

But Silver Bay is not just any seaside town and the inhabitants of the eccentric ramshackle Silver Bay Hotel - the enigmatic skipper Liza McCullen, her ten-year-old daughter and her legendary shark-catching aunt Kathleen, as well as the crews of the local whale-watching boats - swiftly begin to temper Mike's own shark-like tendencies.

As the development begins to take on a momentum of its own and the effect on the bay's whales and dolphins reveals itself, Mike and Liza's world collide, with dramatic results. Unforeseen hazards emerge to confront both the creatures and the McCullen women. And Mike is forced to answer the question that haunts all the bay's inhabitants.

How close can you get before you end up destroying what you love?

Jojo Moyes' new novel is an absorbing, heart-wrenching, emotional tour de force that will sweep you away to another world you'll never want to leave.
