On a sleepy Irish island, two teenagers from different worlds collide. Dee is a mainland girl on a summer retreat. Fionn is a local fisherman’s son, desperate to escape. Their connection is instant and electric, but fleeting – destined to end when summer does.
Twenty years later, Dee seems to have it all – fame, success, and a picture-perfect family. But behind closed doors, her marriage is crumbling and her heart still aches for the boy she left behind.
Fionn never left home. Haunted by the past, he finds solace in the familiar rhythms of island life and the sea. But he’s never forgotten his first love, or the tragedy that drove them apart.
