One was what my fave book of all time was (outside the Bible). What would yours be? And though I have many beloved books, my fave is probably Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy. ❤️📚☕️ #bookclub #authorlife #wvauthor #mysteryauthor

A stranger is wearing her missing father's coat.
And he isn't saying why…

The last place Rosalyn Snow expects to find her father's coat is beneath Exeter's old Exe Bridge.

Especially not on the back of a man fleeing the police.

Convinced the stranger holds the truth she’s spent years searching for, Rosalyn brings him home for Christmas. But Simon avoids giving answers, and what little he reveals only deepens the mystery.

As Dunn House fills with glittering guests, whispered ambitions, and holiday celebration, Simon moves through society as though he belongs there... yet he’s just as at home among the vagrants on the docks. And when Simon’s carefully guarded past reaches Dunn House during the Twelfth Night celebration, the fragile peace of the estate begins to unravel.

What has become of her father?
And who is the man wearing his coat?

Bringing Simon Balfour home might unravel Christmas.

Discovering who he is will make it unforgettable.
