“The plot is homely, the writing is natural. Brilliant work altogether.” – BOOKAUSE REVIEW
“It reads like a warm hug…” – THE DEE TIMES
To her family back in Scotland, Sarah Davidson is living the high-flying Manhattan dream.
In reality, she is in the middle of her Saturn return, quarter life crisis or whatever the latest
TikTok tarot card reader has told her she’s going through. Her publishing job involves
fetching her boss’s urine samples rather than editing the next bestseller. New York seems
to be rejecting her like a string of bad dates.
Then news arrives that her beloved Granny Jean has passed away, pulling Sarah back
to the sleepy coastal village of St Drostans (New Aberdour)
Expecting a quiet week of mourning, Sarah is instead thrust headfirst into the chaotic
wreckage of everything she ran away from: her family’s failing heritage business and the
suffocating nostalgia of the home she abandoned.
Enter Hamish McTavish. St Drostans’ newest, ruggedly handsome farmer is opinionated,
infuriatingly patient, and far too good at seeing right through Sarah’s polished city armor.
As sparks fly over muddy boots and late-night talks, Hamish offers Sarah a sanctuary she
didn’t know she needed. But to build a real future, Sarah must finally stop running,
untangle her family’s past, and decide if the life she’s been chasing is worth more than
the love waiting for her right at home.
