Scotland, 1977.

Kim McLaren never imagined that returning to her family’s beloved farm would mean fighting to keep it. 

Rowandene has been passed down the McLaren family for generations. But after her father is deemed unfit to work, it’s up to Kim to take the reins. 

Now she’s under pressure to sell from the estate’s new owner, Daniel Nichol, her old childhood friend. 

Vet Daniel has no interest in farming and was expecting his newly purchased estate to be vacant of tenants. But Kim won’t let go of her family legacy — or Daniel’s betrayal — that easily. 

As Kim deals with the problems of single-handedly running the farm while her father recovers, Daniel begins to soften and comes to her aid, helping to deliver a healthy calf after a traumatic labour. 

Then tragedy strikes the estate, and both Kim and Daniel begin to realise there is more to unite them than divide them. 

But with so much at stake, can Kim afford to risk her heart? 

This compelling saga of love and redemption is perfect for fans of Rosie Clarke, Tania Crosse, Dilly Court, Rosie Goodwin or Carole Llewellyn.
