"A heart-wrenching story about finding true love through home and family."
To Scotland With Love

But, let me start at the beginning.
TO SCOTLAND WITH LOVE is not just a romance. It's the story of a small town, peopled with engaging characters who come together to protect their own and nurture a very unlikely love.
At the heart of the story are Cait Macleod, who moved away from Gandiegow when she was a child, and Graham Buchanan, the town's favorite son -- a movie star who keeps his hometown a secret but never hesitates to provide whatever its people need to get along. Cait's dream was to be a journalist, but life -- and a conniving husband -- has her beaten down. After the husband's death, she goes home to Gandiegow to decide her future, and finding superstar Graham hiding out there could be just the ticket to reviving her career.
Author Patience Griffin makes Gandiegow and everyone in it seem so real. She weaves the minor characters in and out of the story in such a way that it makes you care about every one of them. The people at the center of the story -- Cait, her grandmother, and the Buchanan clan -- fold themselves into your heart and make you really care about them.
Remember my warning about those last fifty pages? Be sure to have some tissues handy and a good explanation for why you're sniffling. Believe me, this story is worth the risk.
I recommend this story for readers who enjoy a small town love story (Griffin has more Kilts and Quilts novels in the works) in a contemporary setting.
Book Summary
Welcome to the charming Scottish seaside town of
Gandiegow—where two people have returned home for
different
reasons, but to find the same thing.…
Caitriona Macleod gave up her career as an investigative
reporter for the role of perfect wife. But after her
husband
is found dead in his mistress’s bed, a devastated Cait
leaves Chicago for the birthplace she hasn’t seen since
she
was a child. She’s hoping to heal and to reconnect with
her
gran. The last thing she expects to find in Gandiegow is
the
Sexiest Man Alive! She just may have stumbled on the
ticket
to reigniting her career—if her heart doesn’t get in the
way.
Graham Buchanan is a movie star with many
secrets. A Gandiegow native, he frequently hides out in
his
hometown between films. He also has a son he’ll do
anything
to protect. But Cait Macleod is too damn appealing—even
if
she is a journalist.
Quilting with her gran
and
the other women of the village brings Cait a peace she
hasn’t known in years. But if she turns in the story
about
Graham, Gandiegow will never forgive her for betraying
one
of its own. Should she suffer the consequences to
resurrect
her career? Or listen to her battered and bruised heart
and
give love another chance?
