Rilla Clark
has spent years running from Applemore - and the memories waiting for her there. When her long lost father dies, she leaves New England and heads to his cottage in the Scottish Highlands to sort out his affairs. Rilla's determined that her visit will be a fleeting one. The little village of Applemore holds a lot of memories for her, but looking back might just open up her heart, which she’s kept well-guarded until now...

Lachlan Fraser is the new laird of Applemore, handed a windswept castle, mounting debts, and three sisters depending on him to do the right thing. Selling the estate seems like the only answer - until Rilla comes back into town after more than fifteen years, stirring up feelings he never truly left behind.

Old friendships and long-hidden emotions are rekindled as the romance of a Highland winter works its magic - will Rilla and Lachlan discover that home isn’t a place, but a feeling?

Small town friendships, family secrets, and a sweet slow-burn romance.
If you love emotional women's fiction with an uplifting happy ever after, the APPLEMORE series is waiting for you!
