Description
Caroline's dream tapas bar is finally open, but success comes with a price. When her elderly neighbour Nancy lies suffering in a care home, Caroline faces an impossible choice that will test everything she believes about compassion and justice.
Between dodging a ruthless property developer, navigating a budding romance with her charming lawyer, and caring for those she loves, Caroline discovers that doing the right thing isn't always legal-and sometimes the greatest acts of kindness come with the highest cost.
