Both heartbreaking and hopeful, it’s a brilliant read.’ Nicola Cornick’A wonderful book by a fabulous author. Very highly recommended.’ Louise Douglas’A fantastic page-turner! There’s romance and heartache, joy and grief, darkness and light and everything in between, including ghosts in the mist. Brilliant. Will be looking out for more from this author.’ Rachel Sweasey’The Lady of The Loch held me spellbound from the first page to the last. With two storylines beautifully woven together to create a seamless tale of love, loss, betrayal and, above all, hope, it’s a must-read.
