A sprinkle of mystery...a dash of romance...nuggets of hidden secrets combined with an unexpected inheritance and a lingering resentment, provide the ingredients for this engaging, heart warming story.

England 2019. Grace's childhood memories are stirred by the sound of a familiar melody. Her home in 1950's England was a Spanish house. An unusual house. A house with secrets. She begins to wonder...who built it and why?

England 1921. Loveable, likeable, Simon receives a letter on the eve of his twenty first birthday - a letter that will change the course of his life. News of an unexpected inheritance uncovers secrets surrounding his birth, which spark sibling jealousy. Viewing his property in Spain he is wowed by it's design and decides to build a replica in his hometown. As he embraces business life in two countries, he unwittingly becomes English Simon and Spanish Simon - spurred on by his love for two women.

Spain 1922. Elise has experienced many harsh blows in her young life. Returning to her home near Madrid she knows she must pick herself up and move on. Can she continue to live in this Spanish house? The arrival of a visitor creates a new dimension for her.

In 1920's England, dainty, demure Olivia has much to be thankful for: a beautiful house, a thriving business, a deep love...but a nagging doubt. In the last years of the Roaring Twenties this doubt is compounded by the discovery of a discarded item.

Spanning forty years, Spanish House Secrets is a tale of enduring love, painful loss and surprising secrets.
