Moderní gotický román o lásce, tajemství a vraždě je svěžím počteníčkem, které vás přenese do malebné Provence. Hlavní hrdinka Eve potkává šarmantního, ale uzavřeného Dona ve Švýcarsku. Je to jako zásah blesku-chtějí být spolu, a tak se společně vydávají na jih Francie, kde si kupují opuštěný dům obklopený voňavými poli levandule. Oboustranné okouzlení umocňuje odloučená poloha domu, podivný zneklidňující pocit, že v domě nejsou sami a tajuplné záblesky lucerny z blízkého lesa. Pod vlivem nádherné provensálské krajiny a opojné vůně léta se Eve cítí jako nikdy předtím. S přícházejícím podzimem se ochlazují dny a možná i Domova láska... Co přinese zima?
