‘For reasons I hope you’ll understand, I’m leaving Heather House and the pottery to Bella in my will . . .’

Bella Douglas, who has spent a decade managing a London art gallery, is reeling from the discovery that she’s inherited her Scottish grandmother’s home. The golden sands and wildflowers surrounding Heather House capture her heart immediately—as does Fergus, the rugged local builder she hires to restore the tumbledown building.

Every time Fergus walks through the door, Bella’s pulse quickens. In Granny Morag’s pottery studio, she begins to imagine a different future—one where she creates her own art, where her son can flourish, where life finally feels like her own. Could she truly imagine staying here forever?

But nothing prepares Bella for what she finds hidden amongst her grandmother’s papers—letters spanning decades, a secret that tore her family apart, and a truth so devastating it could destroy her claim to Heather House for good. Someone doesn’t want these secrets uncovered—and they’ll do whatever it takes to force Bella out.

Bella is faced with an impossible choice: walk away from the home and the Scottish man who has stolen her heart and return to her old life in London, or stay to uncover the truth of why her grandmother left her Heather House? But is she strong enough to risk everything—her inheritance, her fresh start, and maybe even love . . .

An utterly gorgeous and romantic story about family secrets, second chances and finding where you belong that will sweep you away to Scotland’s wild, beautiful coast. Perfect for fans of Susanne O’Leary, Sheila O’Flanagan and Debbie Macomber.
