What to expect

A Scottish island. A stranger from the mainland. A summer of possibilities…

ESCAPE TO THE ISLE OF SKYE THIS SUMMER WITH THE SUNDAY TIMES AND MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR, AND LOSE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST BOOK OF THE SKYE SISTERS TRILOGY.

________

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. A gorgeous, escapist read for fans of Sarah Morgan and Karen Swan.
