As the castle comes into view beside the sun-dappled loch, Cat wonders if this magical place is where she will finally heal her heart…
In desperate need of a fresh start after a recent heartbreak, Cat Hardwick leaves her life in the city behind and travels to the remote Scottish Highlands. Arriving at her godfather's estate, she hopes returning to the beautiful place she remembers from childhood will help mend her broken heart. But as she steps into the grand hall, the castle isn't as she expects. With a sagging roof and buckets to catch the leaks, Cat soon realizes the estate is in trouble. Determined to save the place that gave her such happy memories, she offers her expertise as an event planner as a way to breathe new life into the estate. Surely there must be a way to save this magical place? The only person opposed to her plans is her godfather's son, Logan McCaskill. He is just how Cat remembers from childhood – grumpy and irritating, but maddeningly attractive with thick black hair and piercing dark brown eyes. Each time he rejects her ideas in his lilting Scottish accent, she feels her cheeks flush, caught between anger and desire. Cat spends her days avoiding Logan. But when an unexpected storm forces them to seek shelter in an abandoned cottage on the estate, with nothing but a flickering fire and a flask of whiskey for company, it is a night that changes everything forever… But then Logan starts acting distant, just as her old flame unexpectedly appears. Cat hoped this place could be her new home, but now she feels more lost than ever. Will Cat find the courage to face her past and embrace her future? Or is she destined to leave this magical place alone? An emotional and uplifting read set against the backdrop of the stunning Scottish Highlands, perfect for readers of unputdownable family dramas and fans of Liz Eeles, Debbie Macomber, and Mary Alice Monroe.
