The manor house overlooking Loch Cameron, with its sprawling garden of unruly blooms and tall wrought iron gates, has been uninhabited for as long as anyone in the village can remember. But an old lady hiding a family secret and a puzzling inheritance is about to bring two estranged sisters home again…

Catriona McGovern and her sister Bridget have never seen eye to eye since Catie left Loch Cameron years ago. So when they learn of a mysterious inheritance from a woman they have never met, Bridget and Catriona are stunned. The will states they must put aside their differences and live together in the beautiful, ivy-covered house overlooking the loch for at least one year.

Catie needs all the help she can get untangling historical property records and housekeeper diaries for the manor. The local laird’s wayward younger brother, Matt Cameron, is tasked with helping out: although surly Matt, newly returned to the Highlands under a cloud of his own seems less than pleased. But spending time together at the old mansion, they soon bond over their love of old movies and Matt’s increasingly cheeky jokes.

But Castle View House is hiding more secrets than the sisters ever thought possible. And when a battered wall safe in the attic reveals a clue as to who left them the house and why, the sisters are pulled into a decades-old family mystery that could finally reunite them, or tear them apart for good…

Can Catie and Matt work together to see that there’s more to life than burn out in the big city, and that family is the most important treasure of all?

Fall in love with the Scottish Highlands in this emotional, page-turning read about family secrets and starting over. Fans of Susanne O’Leary, Rachel Hanna and Pamela Kelley will adore it.
