Description
Thea’s having a bad month. Not only has she been made redundant, she’s also discovered her husband of nearly twenty years is sleeping with one of her friends. And he’s not sorry – he’s leaving.
Bewildered and lost, Thea doesn’t know what to do. But, when she learns the great-uncle she barely knew has died and left her his huge collection of second-hand books and a house in the Scottish Lowlands, she seems to have been offered a second chance.
Running away to a little town where no one knows her seems like exactly what Thea needs. But when she meets the aristocratic Maltravers brothers – grumpy bookshop owner Edward and his estranged brother Charles, Lord Hollinshaw – her new life quickly becomes just as complicated as the life she was running from...
An enchanting story of Scottish lords, second-hand books, new beginnings and second chances perfect for fans of Cressida McLaughlin, Veronica Henry, Rachel Lucas and Jenny Colgan.

I love books about bookshops so I was eager to read this debut novel by Jackie Fraser. I was delighted to receive an early preview copy of this book from Netgalley and the Publisher.
I love the setting of this book, Scotland is a favourite place of mine. The Highlands always make a stunning location in my opinion.
Thea, the main protagonist loses her Job, Husband and her home within a very short amount of time, when she discovers that she has been left a house with a large book collection in the Highlands of Scotland. She has to decide if this will make a new start for herself or if she should sell it.
I enjoyed reading this book, I like the characters, it was nice to see Thea working through the pain of her divorce and trying to make,a fresh start. There was romance and a little humour. It was interesting when Thea was going through her historical book collection.
This is a good debut novel, and I will definitely look out for more books by this author in the future.
