Eleanor Campbell-Ross appears to lead a charmed life. From one of the wealthiest families in Scotland, with a husband who adores her, on the surface she wants for nothing. But all is not what it seems.

Every winter, Eleanor’s family escapes for Christmas to their holiday home in the Scottish Highlands. But this winter is going to be like no other. One chance encounter, one silly prank, sets off a chain of events that separates Eleanor from those she loves. Now she must find her way back to them.

But as she navigates the challenges that follow, the question is does she want to return, or is it time to step out of her family’s shadow and forge a life of her own?

The Scottish Highlands Series ~ Book 2

When you have nothing to lose, how far would you go to escape your past?

Robyn Parker has lost everything. That was her first thought when she woke up on Christmas Day in hospital with no memory of how she got there. The only thing she knew was that someone called David Gillespie saved her life.

Driving a sports car – a relic of his once successful life – David careered into a young woman driving at speed out of Aviemore. What was she doing on that snowy road on Christmas Day? She had yet to tell him. But then he hadn’t been willing to share his troubled past either.

David was captivated by the beautiful young woman he’d pulled out of the wreckage, despite his father’s warning that he knew nothing about her.

Living with her new friend, Gayle, in her beautiful old Scottish home in Aviemore, Lark Lodge, Robyn feels strangely drawn to the property backing on to the lodge. Gayle tells her that the house has been locked up and deserted ever since a tragedy befell the wealthy Ross family on the ski slopes on Christmas Day.

With the arrival of spring, Robyn thinks she has put the past behind her. But when David asks Robyn to move in with him, a memory suddenly resurfaces in the most unexpected of places – David’s boathouse by the loch. Will the secrets from her past finally catch up with her?
