"Delightful, charming, and heartwarming." -NYT bestselling author Wendy Higgins

Helping her eccentric aunt organize a Beltane Festival in a picturesque Highland village seems like the perfect escape from Anna's second broken engagement and the meltdown that wrecked her legal career. But to succeed in helping the cash-strapped village, she'll need to overcome the objections of the reclusive local landowner 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. The tradition could draw tourists by the busload, but that's exactly what Connal MacGregor fears will expose the secrets he's been desperate to keep hidden.

Struggling to mediate between Connal and the needs of the village, Anna finds herself falling in love with all of them: Connal and his child, the villagers, and the magical glen. But opening the "Sighting" to strangers reveals generations of scars within the community, and within Connal and Anna themselves. Confronting those wounds could finally set them free to love with their whole hearts-or endanger their every chance for happiness.
