Thea's heart tried to claw itself out of her chest as she stooped over the motionless figure sprawled in the road. His yellow visibility vest looked jaunty in the sunlight, but his face, where not bleeding, was grey. One leg was twisted through the frame of a crumpled bicycle.

A Scottish island. A stranger from the mainland. A summer of possibilities...
Escape to the Isle of Skye this summer with the Sunday Times bestselling author, and lose yourself in the first book of the Skye Sisters Trilogy.
A chance encounter is about to change everything for Thea Wynter.
The moment she arrived on the Isle of Skye, life changed for Thea. Running from a succession of wrong turns, she comes to the island in search of blue sea, endless skies, and mountains that make the heart soar. Here, she feels at peace.
As head gardener at Rothach Hall, life is exactly how she wants it, with her days spent working in the glorious clifftop garden and her evenings in the cosy village pub.
But an encounter with a stranger from the mainland brings with it an unexpected turn – and she is left wondering whether he is friend or foe.
It seems that even on Skye, life can catch up with you, and Thea is soon faced with the past she left behind – and with it, the family she’s never met...
From old lives to new beginnings, lose yourself on the beautiful Isle of Skye with Thea as she discovers how many possibilities life can truly hold if you look hard enough.

Having now read this book the question I am left asking myself is, why have I never read anything by Sue Moorcroft before? If this book is typical of her back catalogue, and the others are as gorgeous as this one, then I cannot wait to get stuck into more of her titles.
I am also thrilled that this is the first book in an anticipated trilogy as I still have two more books to read when they are published.
It is set on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, and the descriptions of the environment are glorious. I challenge anyone who reads this not to want to hop on an aeroplane and go there.
The main character is Thea, the head gardener at Rothach Hall. When Dev arrives and unexpectedly ends up as one of the seasonal gardeners, the chemistry between them is undeniable.
What is great about the plot is that the reader knows from the outset the real reason behind Dev being at the hall, and it was obvious that sooner or later, this would become apparent and have a huge impact on the burgeoning relationship between them. The author has created a cast of believable characters, not just in Thea and Dev but also in the secondary characters too. Pivotal to Thea and Dev meeting is Daisy the dog, who is a wonderful addition to the story.
Ms. Moorcroft has a story-tellers instinct, and she conveys this on the page extremely well. Anyone who enjoys contemporary fiction will love this book every bit as much as I did.
