Summary
The first in a brand-new cosy romantic series from the best-selling author of The Village Green Bookshop!
A heart-warming, feel-good novel full of friendship, family secrets and finding love where you least expect it....
When Rilla Clark’s long lost father dies, she leaves New England and heads to his cottage in the Scottish Highlands to sort out his affairs. Rilla's determined that her visit will be a fleeting one. The little village of Applemore holds a lot of memories for her, but looking back might just open up her heart, which she’s kept well-guarded until now.
Lachlan Fraser is less than delighted with his inheritance. He left the grand, crumbling Applemore House as soon as he could, and he can’t see why his three sisters love it so much. Gathered together at their family estate, the battle of wills over what to do with the house is just beginning when into their life walks Rilla, whom they haven’t seen for over 15 years....
Old friendships and long-hidden emotions are rekindled as the romance of a Highland winter works its magic - will Rilla and Lachlan discover that home isn’t a place, but a feeling?
Full of warmth and romance, this is the perfect cosy escape to curl up with, ideal for fans of Cathy Bramley, Holly Martin and Katie Fforde.

Relatable characters in and very well read
Thoroughly enjoyed this story – from start to finish. I genuinely liked (most of - apart from Lucinda, of course!) the characters and it’s a real feel-good story. I’d be up for wild camping at Applemore any day!

What a lovely way to pass the time. A real escapism. What a family can achieve if working together.

A lovely little story
I really enjoyed this book, a love story with lots of ups and downs, I found the main character very entertaining, I am looking forward to listening to the second book.

Not for me
This wasn’t for me - the story was too basic and the narration overly dramatic. I liked the setting and the characters had potential but I felt the story was just a little lacking in the cosy feel good factor.
