Come Away With Me

A Serendipitous Invitation

On a crisp spring morning, frustrated arts administrator Lucinda Hayes receives an unexpected letter bearing the elegant seal of her late grandmother’s estate. The missive contains a simple request: come away to the Scottish Highlands for a fortnight of reflection and renewal. Intrigued by memories of childhood summers spent exploring winding lochs and heathered moors, Lucinda abandons her regimented London life for the windswept beauty of Glenrannoch House—a remote manor perched above a secluded valley. Sara MacDonald captures the thrill of the unknown as Lucinda steps into a world shaped by ancestral dreams and hidden passions.

A Journey of Rediscovery

As Lucinda settles into the manor’s inviting library and timeworn drawing rooms, she encounters the enigmatic local historian, Alistair Fraser. With his sharp intellect and gentle humor, Alistair guides her through the estate’s secret passages and forgotten archives. Together they unearth journals filled with tales of forbidden love and brave sacrifices made during wartime. Each discovery rekindles Lucinda’s sense of wonder—and awakens long-dormant desires in her own heart. Through misty mornings by the loch and firelit evenings in the great hall, she learns that the past can illuminate the path to one’s true self.

The Secrets We Carry

But Glenrannoch House holds more than romantic mysteries. Lucinda must confront her own fears: a failed engagement in Paris, the ache of estranged friendships, and the relentless pressure of her corporate career. When unexpected storms isolate the manor and power falters, alliances shift and vulnerabilities surface. It is in these moments of shared adversity that Lucinda and Alistair’s bond transforms from companionship into something far deeper. Sara MacDonald weaves poignant reflection and quietly intense emotion, reminding readers that confronting hidden truths can be the most courageous act of all.

A New Dawn of Love

As spring ripens into summer, Lucinda realizes that her journey was never merely about an inheritance—it was about reclaiming the courage to love and live fully. With the Highlands as their witness, she and Alistair stand poised to write their own chapter of hope and belonging. “Come Away With Me” is an uplifting tale of self-discovery and enduring romance, celebrating the power of place, family, and the heart’s uncharted yearnings.
