Indigo Bay may be Stella’s perfect home, but it has always been tinged with sadness. The waters of the lake, deepest blue and visible from every window, are a constant reminder of her biggest mistake—and the reason she has always promised never to let anyone into her heart. But everything changes when dark, handsome Paolo arrives in town.
As a whirlwind romance develops quickly into something deeper and stronger, Stella starts to wonder if maybe—just maybe—she might deserve some happiness after all. If Paolo has found something to love in her, can she learn to love—and forgive—herself?
But then Paolo asks her the biggest question of her life, and what should be a moment of joy turns into one of panic. She can’t marry Paolo while keeping her biggest secret from him. But if she tells him the truth, she is sure she’ll lose him forever.
Maybe true love is worth risking everything for. Is it time for Stella to leave her past behind—and make new promises?
This is the second book of The Blue Hills series and reading both I have to say that they are pretty addictive. I love Ellyn Oaksmith’s style. She knows where to make you laugh and where to sprinkle the romance with deep dark secrets and drama.
This is not a story that you read and know the two will end up together and live happily ever after. This is a story of struggle, letting go of the past and forgiving oneself. An incredible story that teaches us that is never too late to try for your happy ending. It is a lesson of hope, friendships and family.
