A story of many different kinds of love, played out against a dramatic background of sea and sky.

Helen's life changed when her parents and fiance were killed in a car crash. Coming to terms with her loss, she discovered that Miles had kept something from her that made her see him in a different light. She moved to Flatners, a cottage near the Bristol Channel to begin a new life and a new love.

On an expedition to choose her wedding dress, accompanied by her fiance Miles and her parents, Helen Wilson's life changed without warning. A devastating car crash left her with only memories for consolation.

As Helen came to terms with her loss, she discovered that Miles had kept something from her which made her see him in a very different light. She moved to Flatners, a cottage overlooking the Bristol Channel, and with her new friends - pretty Peggy and her small daughter Rosie - living next door, Helen settled into an entirely new existence. While encouraging Peggy's relationship with Joshua, a social worker, Helen became aware of her own complex feelings towards Harry Vallender, the previous owner of Flatners.

Harry had a very special reason for wanting to know Helen. In the aftermath of death and lives turned upside down, love tentatively began to flower...
