Escape to the Highland Retreat

When Marcie Mosse was last in the beautiful village of Strathkin in the Scottish Highlands, she made a tough decision about the future of her family’s grand ancestral home, Swanfield House. Back for the first time since then, staying at her uncle’s cottage, Sweet Briar, Marcie is shocked to see that her decision is already causing disruption in the once peaceful village. Something strange is happening at Swanfield and Marcie is determined to get to the bottom of it.

Meanwhile, her friend Dina is battling her own private struggles, testing the bonds of their close-knit group of friends. As Marcie watches her childhood sweetheart Ruaridh Balfour face unimaginable challenges with stoic determination, she finds herself drawn back into the heart of village life. When tragedy strikes and long-buried secrets rise to the surface, Marcie must decide whether some mysteries are better left unsolved – and whether she truly belongs in the place she once couldn't wait to leave.

Perfect for fans of Susanne O'Leary, Jenny Colgan and Liz Eeles, this is a gripping story about friendship, belonging, and the lengths we'll go to protect those we love.
