Ainsley - Cape Breton Highland's Bride
(2026)(Book 31 in the National Park Brides series)
A novel by Nancy Fraser
Ainsley Stewart spent much of her youth dreaming about leaving Cape Breton Island. Like so many of her friends, she longed to see the big cities like Halifax, on the mainland. Or, better yet, the growing city of Toronto in far off Ontario.
After her father’s passing, rather than follow her dreams, she chose to stay close to her mother. As a recent graduate of Dalhousie University on the mainland, Ainsley returns to Cape Breton to teach grade school. She also volunteers her time on her pet project… having the beautiful Cape Breton Highlands area designated as a Canadian National Park.
Simon MacNeil lives with his two brothers on the family farm in a remote area known as Meat Cove. With a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean right outside his window, he’s certain there’s no finer place on earth. In the spring, before farming begins in earnest, he also fishes for lobster from nearby Pleasant Bay.
Locals in the area are looking to turn this idyllic paradise Simon calls home into a National Park, no doubt resulting in hoards of tourists. He and his brothers are adamant about opposing their efforts.
When Simon and Ainsley first meet, they immediately lock horns over the issue of the park development. Yet, the more he gets to know her, the more reluctant he is to argue.
Can an unexpected attraction turn to love? And with it, compromise?
