Healing Hearts on Thistledown Lane

'Heartwarming and gloriously romantic' HEIDI SWAIN

'Perfect to curl up with on sunny days or cold winter nights' CRESSIDA McLAUGHLIN

'I devoured this gorgeous book as quickly as a tin of Scottish shortbread' VERONICA HENRY

Maura has everything she ever wanted from life - a quirky cottage in Edinburgh's picturesque Dean Village, a thriving career as a potter and a contented relationship with her childhood sweetheart, Jamie. Never mind that the cottage is damp, her pots aren't selling and Jamie prefers a night down the pub with his rugby mates to an evening in with her.

But everyone wishes things were just a tiny bit better, right?

When Maura reunites with Fraser Bell at a Hogmanay party, she's instantly transported back to her school days. And when he proposes she makes ceramic ghosts to complement his city ghost tour business, she's tempted. At first, everything goes smoothly but it's not long before their new partnership causes problems that ripple through every aspect of Maura's life. The ghosts go viral, so she has more orders than she can fulfil and Jamie is not thrilled that she's spending all her time in her studio. But when Edinburgh Castle shows an interest in Maura's work, things begin to spiral out of control.

Maura really have it all or will she regret wishing for more?
