Summer in Wenbridge should be beautiful, but Lacey knows better than to trust appearances.

As the sun rises bright and warm over Wenbridge, the town settles into a fragile calm after the Autumn prior, Lacey finds herself pulled into wedding preparations for her best friend, Kitty. With a baby on the way and the wedding fast approaching, everything should feel joyful. Instead, Lacey feels the weight of responsibility pressing down on her shoulders as Maid of Honour, determined to make sure nothing ruins the perfect day Kitty deserves.

But Wenbridge has never been a simple place.

The secrets of Silverleaf Cottage have already been exposed once, and Lacey is still haunted by everything that was uncovered there. Guilt lingers over the choices she made, including leaving Kitty behind while escaping to Morocco with Daniel, the man she loves.

Now they are back. Life should be calm. Safe. Ordinary.

It is anything but.

Is the past as buried as it seems?

Frank Carver had been murdered, and the truth behind it remains unsolved. Worse still, the discovery of farmhand Jimmy’s body, hidden for years by Frank Carver beneath the very ground where Wenbridge’s new community hub now stands, has left the town with unanswered questions and uneasy silence.

Some believe justice has already been served. Others believe the real killer is still out there.

As wedding plans continue and the town prepares for celebration, Will Lacey be forced to confront the truth? Beneath the charm of Wenbridge, something darker is still lingering in the shadows.

And if the past isn’t truly buried, it may be waiting for the perfect moment to resurface.
