Welcome to Litsy!

Nothing is really forgotten... Nothing is ever forgiven... When Athene walks into Mary's cafe and asks for directions to a holiday cottage she has rented, Mary tells her it burned down twenty years earlier. Since Athene has nowhere to stay, Mary suggests that she checks in to a local pub for the night. What Athene doesn't know is that the burnt-out house was where Mary's friend, Bella, lived. The only person she ever loved, who died in terrible circumstances. Brought on by Athene's arrival, Mary feels her past leaking into the present. There is a secret to Bella's death; something she has kept buried for years. But is Athene really who she says she is? Then Trent, a man convicted of starting the fire that burnt down the cottage, contacts Mary. He has received an anonymous email that refers to the past. And when Mary starts to feel like she is being watched, she is terrified the past is coming back to haunt her. Because some things cannot stay buried...
