Some doors, once opened, cannot be closed
Antiques enthusiast and care worker Becky Webster has always felt more at home with the older generation. Her beloved nan, the residents of Riverside Nursing Home – these are her people.
When Becky discovers a beautiful vintage advent calendar, she opens a door and is pulled back in time to Hardenstone Asylum,1942. Mistaken for a student nurse, she must quickly fit into this strange, often distressing world. There’s no way home and no one to trust.
Until she meets war-hero Arthur, a patient tortured by what he has seen. Becky recognises what the doctors cannot, or will not, see. Arthur isn’t insane – he has PTSD. And as the weeks pass, she falls for him with a ferocity that both thrills and terrifies her.
But Hardenstone harbours dark secrets. Becky discovers Arthur faces imminent danger and the calendar that might offer an escape is still missing.
And like calendar doors, time is running out. Becky has only days to save herself and Arthur.
A sweeping, deeply romantic love story about the wounds we inherit, the families we find, and how far we will go to save the ones we cannot bear to lose.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
