"Estee  I bought this ring the day after I saw you on stage at La Scala  all those years ago.
You're the only woman I've ever loved." Estee wanted to see it so badly  but instead she
reached for Felix's hand and gently closed it over the box. "No " she whispered. "I want you to
propose only when you're truly free."   When Lily is called to a lawyer's office in London  she
has no idea that her life is about to change forever. There  she is told that her grandmother
was born at Hope House  a home for unmarried mothers  and is given a box containing the only
clues to her true heritage. Peeling back the delicate layers of paper she finds an Italian
recipe and a theatre programme.  Travelling to Italy and taking a job on a vineyard  Lily is
determined to unravel the mystery of her past. The vineyard owners  in particular their
charming son Antonio  offer to help. They tell Lily that the recipe belongs to the wealthy
Rossi family  known for their famous bakeries which opened after the Second World War. Antonio
offers to drive Lily to the Rossis' village and deep down  Lily is delighted to have him as her
guide.  When Lily arrives and shows the recipe to the surviving members of the family  it is
clear that she has unearthed a tragic love story: of a young girl named Estee and a boy named
Felix. Of a childhood friendship which developed into a passionate love affair. Of a family
torn apart by wealth and of two young people who were prepared to sacrifice everything for
love.  But when Lily finds out the truth about her family and who she really is  will she too
be able to follow her heart?   An utterly enchanting and heartbreaking novel about lost loves 
family secrets and enduring hope. Perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley  Santa Montefiore and
