But to succeed, she'll need to wrangle kilt-wearing villagers, dangerous sheep, a disaster of a dog, and the reclusive laird who refuses to open his property to the public for the ancient tradition of "Sighting."   For centuries, Loch Fàil in Balwhither has been known to locals as a "thin" place, one where the veil between worlds peels back on Beltane morning to reveal the face of a person's one true love.

But day by day, opening herself to love exposes deeper scars from Anna's childhood, and confronting those wounds could finally set her free--or endanger her every chance of happiness.…
