The Soft Whisper of Dreams: An emotional and absolutely spellbinding romance about secrets and mystery (Shadows from the Past)

Indulge in award-winning author Christina Courtenay’s sweepingly romantic world, with a rich tapestry of mystery just waiting to be unravelled.

Every whisper holds a shadow, and every dream leads to a secret.

Madeline Browne's world is shattered by a revelation delivered by the family solicitor amidst the grief of her parents' sudden passing.

Seeking the comfort of her friend Kayla, Maddie finds herself at the imposing Marcombe Hall, where the recurring nightmare about a red-haired man from her childhood returns every time she closes her eyes.

As she navigates her grief and the dreams that haunt her, Maddie encounters Alex Marcombe, a handsome but aloof man with his own shadows and secrets.

Maddie and Alex find themselves drawn together by an unexplainable connection. But their burgeoning romance faces trials from mysterious occurrences around the ancestral home.

As the line between reality and dreams begins to blur, will Maddie and Alex be able to withstand the echoes of the past closing in around them?

Fans of Barbara Erskine, Kate Mosse, Susanna Kearsley, Irina Shapiro or Kirsty Ferry will be enchanted by this spellbinding story of love, legacy and the otherworldly bond that bridges time and destiny.
