The Cottage by the Shore

Summary

Heartwarming feel-good later in life romance with a cast of characters you'll fall in love with!

Veterinarian Sophie Jones sends her daughter Tabby off on the chance of a lifetime—a fully paid sports scholarship in Atlanta, Georgia. With the nest empty, Sophie surprises herself taking a position as the new vet in a Highland village, hundreds of miles from home.

Applemore has a big heart—from the coffee shop where village gossip is shared over sweet treats from the local bakery, to the cute white painted hotel that serves lunch overlooking the white sands and azure seas of Applemore Bay. Sophie throws herself into village life, making friends across the generations.

Divorced artist Ben Lewis is content, living alone in an old farmhouse overlooking the wild Highland beach—even if his grown up daughter teases him that he's turned into a grouch.

When a friend is in trouble and he has to get involved in village life he finds that being part of the community isn't so bad, especially when Sophie's around . . .

Escape to the Scottish Highlands with this delightful small town tale of friendship, family, and taking chances from the bestselling author of The Winter Cottage.
