Going Home

But behind the mistletoe and the mince pies, family secrets lurk. And when David, the man who broke her heart, makes an unexpected reappearance, it ranks as a Christmas she would definitely rather forget.As winter slowly turns to spring, Keeper House is under threat. By the time the Walters gather at the house for a summer wedding, the stakes have never been higher – for Lizzy, for her family and for love…
