Jo hasnt seen Oliver since that magical, life-changing summer when their idyllic island paradise was shattered. Growing up on Walnut Tree Island, they were everything to each other, defying a feud that fractured their families decades before. If first love runs deep, Jo and Olivers ran like the river itself, fast and true.

On Walnut Tree Island, love affairs and secrets come and go like the tides. Once the pulse of a flourishing 1960s music scene, its where Mary Star fell in love with a young musician about to hit the big time, only to be left with a baby and a broken heart.

But Olivers return to the island after years away throws everyone into a frenzy. The threat of change is coming to paradise. And for Jo, Olivers return opens the wounds of a love she thought she had lost for ever
