If you enjoyed Virgin River, you’ll love Applemore… a small town with a big heart, where family, friendship and love are waiting just around the corner.

Rilla Clark returns to the small town where she spent her summers
with one plan - to get in and out as fast as she can. There are just one or two little problems...
She’s forgotten how pretty the lights of the Applemore harbour look in the winter. Oh, and how it feels to be embraced by the community with open arms. There’s a cozy fire lit in the hearth at the Applemore Hotel and a hot chocolate topped with cream to be drunk, looking out over the sea and catching up with childhood friends.
Last of all, there’s just the little, teeny-tiny matter of her teenage crush, Lachlan - now tall, dark, and handsome - who just happens to be the new Laird, although village gossip suggests he’s not so keen on inheriting a castle…


Surveying the dilapidated glory of Applemore House, Lachlan Fraser is trying to break the news to his three sisters that the best thing to do might be sell up and cut their losses. The castle might be beautiful, standing tall and turreted overlooking the white sands of the beach and the distant islands - but the roof is leaking and the winter wind whips in through gaps in the windows. The only welcoming room in the place is the big farmhouse kitchen, full of dogs snoozing at the foot of the big old wood burning stove. He's got a business to run in the city, and until Rilla turned up the solution seemed clear - but somehow, leaving the small town just got a lot more complicated...

Discover Applemore - a feel-good small town series with friendship and a sweet sprinkling of romance - all in a beautiful setting that'll make you feel like you've had a vacation in the Scottish Highlands.

Perfect for fans of Rachel Hanna and Robyn Carr, you'll love this small town series!

Author's note: like every book in the Applemore series, this is a sweet, closed door small town romantic women's fiction novel.
