Book blurb:
All aboard the Celtic Dream as she sets sail on a magical Highland escape around the Scottish Isles…
When widow Maggie Blenkenship books a Scottish cruise to celebrate her seventieth birthday, she expects breathtaking scenery and quality time with her sister. She doesn’t expect to fall in love.
Joined by a colourful cast of fellow passengers – a secretive actress battling frightening memory loss, a sharp-tongued expat running from family ghosts, and a reserved gentleman haunted by his late father’s wartime secret – Maggie discovers that the open sea has a way of loosening hearts and unlocking truths.
As the Celtic Dream weaves through the dramatic Scottish isles, unlikely friendships form, long-buried secrets surface, and love arrives quietly, unexpectedly, and right on time…
The Scottish Cruise is a warm and witty story about second chances, the courage to begin again, and the beautiful, surprising things that can happen when you finally step out of the shadows.
