The scent of roses is in the air while romance blooms in this gorgeously escapist Scottish-set love story, about finding your way back to the one you've never forgotten... Sure to capture the hearts of readers who love Debbie Macomber, Carolyn Brown and Fern Michaels.
When Caro Swanson applies for a job in a remote part of Scotland-which involves living on a beautiful, crumbling country estate-she can't help but remember a dream-like night that changed her life, nearly two decades before.
A night on a Greek island, where she met a boy named Alec McLeod. With his soulful eyes and gorgeous Scottish burr, she's never forgotten him, or how they talked about the beautiful place where he grew up.
Surely he can't still live there though? At least, that's what she's telling herself. But, two decades later, as she walks up the drive to the 'big hoose' in the picturesque loch-side village of Glen Liddell, she is about to find the man who once captured her heart. And as soon as her eyes meet Alec's, it's as if no time has passed at all.
Unsure if he even recognizes her, Caro's heart can't help but race. And, as the weather gets warmer and the garden blooms, soon Caro finds herself falling in love with everything about her new home. Especially the man she always believed was the one who got away, as they discover a shared passion for fragrance.
Things aren't straightforward though. As secrets and hidden passions find their way to the surface, Caro realizes that the estate is in dire financial straits. And if she's going to stay there, and have a chance of the happy-ever-after she's been dreaming of, she knows it's down to her to save it.
So begins a magical summer, one that will take Caro from Scotland to London and the south of France, in search of a classic rose petal perfume that might just restore all their fortunes...
