Of Heather and Thistle

Of Heather and Thistle is a slow-burn, heartfelt romance about second chances, self-discovery, and the unexpected places we find home. After a childhood shaped by loss and betrayal - a father who drowned his grief in liquor and a best friend who shattered her trust - Heather Mackenzie Campbell has spent years keeping her heart guarded and her roots shallow. So when she inherits her family's crumbling Scottish estate, Glenoran House, she sees it as nothing more than a burden. The plan is simple: fix it up, sell it, and leave Scotland behind for good. But Glenoran isn't just a relic of the past. Its creaking walls whisper history and forgotten secrets of a past that refuses to stay buried. And then there's Flynn, the rugged, maddeningly charming contractor who seems determined to remind her that some things, some places, some people, are worth holding onto. As Heather unearths hidden letters, lost artifacts, and the story of an ancestor who may have concealed something far more valuable than heirlooms, she realizes she's standing at a crossroads. She can keep running, return to the safety of the life she left behind, or she can stay and finally face all she's been avoiding - including how Flynn makes her feel. But some things can't stay hidden forever, and the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to ignore what her heart has known all along. View Less
