    [synopsis] => 'I miss him with every breath and heartbeat. He should have been my happy ending. Instead, he is the sad beginning to my story.' Olivia and Luca Felicone have known each other nearly all their lives, but when they fall in love as teenagers and elope, they break the hearts of those closest to them. Luca's parents run Marinella's restaurant, the colourful hub in the otherwise bleak seaside town of Watersford, and his mother, Angela, can never forgive Olivia for causing such a rift in her beloved family.

On a freezing January night Olivia's life is shattered when she learns that Luca has been killed in a car accident. She is left with nothing, and after weeks of overwhelming grief, she returns to where Luca has been buried in Watersford, just to be close to him – even though she knows she will not be welcome.

Olivia's chance meeting with Luca's married twin brother, Marc, leads to a friendship that she hopes will fill the space where Luca should be. But not everyone approves, and soon they are set on a course of action that threatens to spiral out of control. And if it does, the consequences will be both explosive and cruel.
	Bestselling author Louise Douglas tells a heart-breaking and unforgettable tale of first love and first grief. Perfect for fans of Barbara O'Neal, Lucinda Riley and Rachel Hore.
