"Like a Hallmark movie set in a Scottish castle!"
It's been a long time since Rilla Clark came home to the little cottage in the grounds of the beautiful castle of Applemore . . .
The lights of the harbor twinkle against the snowy background of the mountains, the streets are full of old familiar faces, there's a hot chocolate waiting by a welcoming fire at the Applemore Hotel . . .
And her teenage crush Lachlan Fraser is back in town.
As the new Laird of Applemore, Lachlan has inherited a storybook castle, deep in the pines overlooking the distant islands-but it's seen better days-the roof leaks, and the winter wind whistles at the doors. His sisters Beth, Charlotte, and Polly want him to hold onto Applemore House-but selling the castle would give his sisters a fair share of the inheritance.
The solution seems clear-until Rilla turns up, and with her a second chance at happiness. Leaving the small town just got a lot more complicated . . .
