Debbie Johnson The Little Scottish Bookshop

'My favourite book of 2026!... My jaw DROPPED... Immediately caught my attention... I've never read anything like this one!... Absolutely magical... I didn't want to leave... I was head over heels... PICK THIS UP!!' Goodreads reviewer, ¿¿¿¿¿ Take a leap of faith and come and visit our perfect little bookshop by the sea. You'll find a warm welcome, friendship, and maybe even a new beginning... Kate is more surprised than anyone to find herself, suitcase in hand, outside a bookshop in the middle of a tiny Scottish village, where seagulls cry and the sea is a shimmering blue. But when an anonymous invitation to Bonnie Bay fell from the pages of a book, it felt like the perfect way to escape her dead-end job and memories of her ex. Twinkly-eyed and eccentric owner Moira gives Kate a haven in her cozy cottage. Moira sent the invitations out into the world, offering a fresh start to those who need it... but now, Moira can't manage the shop alone. It breaks Kate's heart to see the sweet elderly lady lose the place she loves. And that's the least of Kate's problems. Brody, a grumpy, six-foot-four, silver fox arrives at the bookshop with an invitation just like hers. The only place for him to stay? Moira's cottage, too... But beneath his gruff exterior Brody has a warm heart. Soon he's volunteering to help turn the shop around. And as they string fairy lights, fill the shop with cozy cushions, and mend the broken shelves, things between Kate and Brody are quickly heating up in surprising ways! But will the bookshop - and the spark between them - last beyond the summer? Or will their fresh start come crashing down? This book was previously published as The Hopeful Hearts Bookshop. From the million-copy bestselling author of the Comfort Food Café series comes a brand-new, totally addictive and feel-good escapist romance with delicious steam and spice. Perfect for anyone who loves getting lost in a book - in more ways than one! Fans of Susan Mallery, Phillipa Ashley and Laurie Gilmore won't be able to put this down.
