An Invitation to the Cottage by the Loch

Or will confronting her heart-breaking family history mean she can finally move forward with Kyle by her side?Fans of Debbie Macomber, Barbara O'Neal and Mary Alice Monroe will adore being whisked away to the Scottish Highlands in this emotional and page-turning read!
