On paper Merina Wilde has it all: a successful career writing romantic novels a perfect carousel of book launches and parties and a childhood sweetheart. But Merry has a secret: she can’t summon up the sparkle that makes her stories shine. As her deadline whooshes by her personal life falls apart too. Merry escapes to the windswept Orkney Islands locking herself away in a secluded clifftop cottage to try to heal her heart and rediscover her passion for writing. But can the kindness of strangers help Merry to fool herself into believing in love again if only long enough to finish her book? Or is it time for her to find something new to set her soul alight?
