Description: A Scottish island. A stranger from the mainland. A summer of possibilities…
A chance encounter is about to change everything for Thea Wynter.
The moment she arrived on the Isle of Skye, life changed for Thea. Running from a succession of wrong turns, she comes to the island in search of blue sea, endless skies, and mountains that make the heart soar. Here, she feels at peace.
As head gardener at Rothach Hall, life is exactly how she wants it, with her days spent working in the glorious clifftop garden and her evenings in the cosy local village.
But an encounter with a stranger from the mainland brings with it an unexpected turn – and only time will tell if he is friend or foe.
It seems that even on Skye, life can catch up with you, and Thea is soon faced with the past she left behind – and with it, the family she’s never met…
From old lives to new beginnings, lose yourself on the beautiful Isle of Skye with Thea as she discovers how many possibilities life can truly hold if you look hard enough.

Why We Loved It
This is the first book in a trilogy by Sue Moorcroft and as such Sue has fully invested in building the reader’s interest in the three Skye sisters.
The backdrop of the Isle of Skye is equally compelling as Sue’s evocative descriptions transports you there.
But at the centre, as ever, is Sue’s wonderful storytelling; intriguing, complex, well-defined characters, sensitively handling difficult subjects and leaving the reader eager for the next book in this delightful series.
A perfect summer escape!
Highly Recommended. One of our Favourite Fiction Books of 2024!
