Five friends. Four love stories. One devastating secret.

Isabella’s life seems perfect. As the heiress to a luxury hotel on Harbour Bridge, she spends her days relaxing in a breathtaking mansion nestled in the dunes. But the house, the wealth, the privilege—it’s all a façade. Behind the walls of her estate, she is profoundly unhappy and alone. When Preston, her flannel-wearing new neighbor, moves into the dilapidated shack next door, his constant renovations—paired with his undeniable charm—immediately unsettle her. 

For years, she has kept even her closest friends at a distance. But Preston is different. Day by day, minute by minute, he begins to chip away at the walls around her. Finally, Isabella starts to let him in—until she discovers his secret. A secret that shatters everything she thought she knew.
