But can he keep his secret from Lakeshore Manor's oldest resident, James O'Carroll? As he cares for these remnants of his past, memories of a bygone era haunt him - of wild adventures on the rugged Irish coast, of forbidden love hidden beneath the threat of eternal night, and of a shipwreck that changes everything...
