What to expect
Dive into this BRAND-NEW delightfully heartwarming, uplifting romance set in the Scottish Highlands, perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Heidi Swain and the BBC's The Repair Shop series ❤️🩹 🏴
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Full of heart, hope, and Highland charm - what a beautiful, uplifting book.' Sandy Barker
Never take broken for an answer...
When her career stalls and her boyfriend betrays her, Ally McIntyre’s dreams shatter into a hundred little pieces. Which is apt, given Ally’s family has built a haven for the worn out and broken: the Cairn Dhu Community Repair Shop and Café in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, famous for its band of expert fixers (and delicious baking). But repairing gadgets and restoring heirlooms is one thing, fixing herself is quite another.
Jamie Beaton is on a temporary summer transfer to Cairn Dhu as a Special Constable, though there’s a deeper, sadder reason that’s drawn him to the Highlands. When a scandal threatens the repair shop and Ally and Jamie’s paths cross, an instant connection – and attraction – sparks. Could finding new love, and the missing piece of Jamie’s past, help Ally’s heart to heal?
As the long summer days draw in, however, Jamie must leave. An unexpected job offer also comes Ally’s way, which could take her far from the Highlands. Should she take a leap into the unknown? Where does she truly feel whole?
Full of wit, love and community spirit, this is the first novel in a gorgeously feel-good new series by bestselling author Kiley Dunbar.
