Isabella's life seems perfect. As the heiress to a luxury hotel on Harbour Bridge, she spends her days relaxing in a breathtaking mansion nestled in the dunes. But the house, the wealth, the privilege-it's all a façade. Behind the walls of her estate, she is profoundly unhappy and alone. When Preston, her flannel-wearing new neighbor, moves into the dilapidated shack next door, his constant renovations-paired with his undeniable charm-immediately unsettle her.  For years, she has kept even her closest friends at a distance. But Preston is different. Day by day, minute by minute, he begins to chip away at the walls around her. Finally, Isabella starts to let him in-until she discovers his secret. A secret that shatters everything she thought she knew.
