House of Lies Merryn Allingham

Love is timeless, but so is betrayal.

How do you survive when your world falls to pieces? When Megan Lacey's lover dies in a car accident, she retreats to a small coastal town certain she will never recover from his loss. Until, that is, she discovers everything she'd thought real has been an illusion.

Grappling with a series of catastrophic events, Megan finds herself walking back into the past to an older story of love and betrayal.

Slowly and and irrevocably, she is drawn to Sophia, a Victorian woman who once occupied the same cottage and who, in so many ways, is her counterpart. But centuries later, can she help the woman escape her fate? And can the past help Megan herself find happiness?
