The Doors of Riverdell

The Doors of Riverdell

Isabelle Threlfall has always called Riverdell House home, but home has its complications.

There’s her Aunt Elsa angling for commitment, cousin Hester to avoid, and the failure of her long-term relationship to face. Working away seems the best solution but when Elsa’s eldest son dies and her estranged grandchildren, Moth and Nat, arrive at Riverdell, Isabelle is called home to help.

Kit de Lavelle has waited fifteen years for Isabelle to ditch her childhood sweetheart and adore him instead, but he’s about to discover that closing the doors to his own past is harder than expected. As Moth and Isabelle form a close bond trading family secrets and avoiding their own, Elsa finds courage in her memories to face the truth she has hidden from them all. But as the future is decided will Moth and Isabelle still be able to call Riverdell their home?
