Welcome to the charming Scottish seaside town of Gandiegow—where two people have returned home for different reasons, but to find the same thing.… Caitriona Macleod gave up her career as an investigative reporter for the role of perfect wife. But after her husband is found dead in his mistress’s bed, a devastated Cait leaves Chicago for the birthplace she hasn’t seen since she was a child. She’s hoping to heal and to reconnect with her gran. The last thing she expects to find in Gandiegow is the Sexiest Man Alive! She just may have stumbled on the ticket to reigniting her career—if her heart doesn’t get in the way.Graham Buchanan is a movie star with many secrets. A Gandiegow native, he frequently hides out in his hometown between films. He also has a son he’ll do anything to protect. But Cait Macleod is too damn appealing—even if she is a journalist.Quilting with her gran and the other women of the village brings Cait a peace she hasn’t known in years. But if she turns in the story about Graham, Gandiegow will never forgive her for betraying one of its own. Should she suffer the consequences to resurrect her career? Or listen to her battered and bruised heart and give love another chance?

Sheri’s Thoughts

Cait Macleod is a widow and returns to the village she left as a child to restart her life, only to find that her new house is gone, and then she finds the one thing that could restart her career, but to act on it might ruin the new life she’s working so hard to build.

Graham Buchanan enjoys living in Gandiegow, and that the press has no idea where he disappears to, he is positive Cait is a reporter, yet she has ties to the community so he can’t just outright ask her to leave.

The story took a surprising turn and tugged at all my emotions. I found myself laughing and even crying when some serious emotional things happened, and the whole time I enjoyed Cait and Graham falling in love despite all the things happening around them.

I will also never look at quilting the same way again, it’s obvious the author has a passion for it. I also will be looking for more books in this series. I definitely recommend it, but be prepared for tears and smiles and the whole gamut of emotion.
