Spend the summer in the Scottish Highlands with this uplifting second-chance romance...
Evie Stuart is playing it safe. She lives on her family’s remote farm in the Scottish Highlands and never ventures beyond the local village of Lockton. She’s learned that bad things happen when she’s impulsive, and she’s determined not to get burned again.
Callum Ryder is the opposite of what Evie wants in her ordered world. Six foot two of reckless energy with twinkling eyes and a dangerously charming smile, he’s a thrill-seeking American firefighter with no idea how to slow down. Callum enters Lockton like a whirlwind, fleeing his problems in New York City in search of the truth about his Scottish family.
Yet the odd pair might have more in common than they think… Evie agrees to help Callum find his grandfather and faces more challenges than ever: from swimming in the fabled Bonnie Lochan to exploring an ancient castle and even entering the village jam-making championships. Turns out it’s easy for Evie and Callum to connect when they let go of their fears and enjoy the most surprising summer of their lives.
But for Evie, getting close to Callum means risking a repeat of the disaster from a year ago when she fell for the wrong man. Is her safe haven about to crumble?
