Avery used to have high hopes for her future until one traumatic night shattered her into a million pieces. Time went on, scabbing her wounds, and Avery learned how to live within the shadows of her mind while keeping her struggles to herself. Now in Toronto, the place she has called home for the last three years, Averys world abruptly capsizes. With no roof over her head, she decides to fly across the ocean to find solace in the rugged hills of the Scottish Highlands. What she doesnt expect to find is an unlikely connection with Lachlana brooding, local Scotsman in the small town of Corranwho seems to be navigating through his own darkness. While Lachlan anxiously anticipates Avery's departure, she relishes the opportunity to evade her mysterious and sullen Scottish neighbour. Immersed in the captivating splendor of the mountains and valleys, Avery directs her attention towards self-discovery, immortalizing the breathtaking scenery within the pages of her sketchbook. But the bond between Lachlan and Avery is magnetic, pulling them closer together with each passing day. Yet time is running against them, and what Avery doesnt know is that Corran is protecting something that is meant to stay hidden: a secret that could end in devastation and heartbreak.
