The feel-good romcom from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Rivals, now a major series on Disney+ 'Absolutely brilliant' 5 STAR reader review 'Such good fun!' 5 STAR reader review 'I couldn't put it down . . . one of the best books I've read!' 5 STAR reader review If Emily hadn't gone to Annie Richmond's party, she would never have met the impossibly irresistible Rory Balniel; would never have married him and been carried off to the wild Scottish island of Irasa to live in his ancestral home along with his eccentric mother, Coco, and the dog, Walter Scott. She'd never have met the wild and mysterious Marina, a wraith from Rory's past, nor her brother, the disagreeable Finn Maclean; never have spent a night in a haunted highland castle, or been caught stealing roses in a see-through nightie... Yes, it all started at Annie Richmond's party. 'There is no one else like Cooper' Guardian 'The Jane Austen of our time' HARPERS & QUEEN 'The funniest and sharpest writer there is' Jenny Colgan 'Flawlessly entertaining' Helen Fielding [cover may vary]
