In 1987 Edward now widowed decides that it is time to write again and he must write about Rebecca and their lives and her fabulous art work, hence he comes in contact with editor Tess Miller who is not happy about this to start with but Tess falls for the story a true love story as far as she is concerned but Tess is struggling with her own dreams and there are complications between Edward and Tess regarding the story so another editor steps in James and their meetings are filled with sparks not always the good ones their relationship is a very complicated one at best they have a lot to overcome.
Tess feels this tragic story so deeply there is a mystery in it that she needs to uncover, there are so many similarities between Rebecca and Edward and Tess and James has fate bought them together and as the past and present intertwine can love be found again and then open up for Tess and James?

SECRET SHORES by author Ella Carey is a September 2017 release by Lake Union Publishing.
I loved this story right from the beginning to the end. It is fast-paced and makes you keep on reading or listening as in my case I had the audio version of it.
Tess Miller as an editor at a big publishing house is stuck with a new writer as the writer she mentored to the top was taken away from her. She was bitter at her boss and the editor, James, who took away her author.
But she decided to work with her new writer and make him a bestseller. The story is engrossing and interesting to read as it takes as back to 1946 then to 1987. And lives and loves in these decades.
Author Ella Carey once again wrote a well-woven story with compelling characters and a moving tale.
