The Wild Isle Series

The Lost Lover : An epic romantic tale of lovers reunited

Transporting you to 1930 and the beautiful, remote island of St Kilda, The Lost Lover is the sweeping historical romance from bestselling author Karen Swan.

An epic first love. A second chance . . .

Young Flora MacQueen has always dreamt of more than life on the small Scottish island of St Kilda. So, when she catches the eye of visiting adventurer and wealthy businessman James Callaghan, her future seems brighter.

Winter seas separate the lovers but the island’s evacuation the following summer promises to reunite them – until tragedy strikes.

Heartbroken and needing to support her family on the mainland, a chance meeting offers hope. Soon Flora is the toast of glamorous Paris; fame and fortune are hers for the taking. But at a high price.

When a scandal erupts back home, she is implicated, along with her friends, Effie and Mhairi. But then a deception comes to light that will change everything . . .

The Lost Lover is Book Three in Karen Swan's bestselling Wild Isle series of love stories set on St Kilda, which can be read in any order. Continue exploring the romantic islands of Scotland with The Last Summer, The Stolen Hours and The Midnight Secret.

'One of our most prolific and talented writers’ – Santa Montefiore

‘This sweeping love story gripped us from the start’ - Independent

‘Powerful writing and a wonderful premise make this a novel you’ll simultaneously want to savour and race through. I loved it!’ - Jill Mansell, author of An Almost Perfect Summer
