    La jeune Flora MacKenzie travaille à Londres dans un cabinet d'avocats. Jamais elle n'avait imaginé que son emploi la conduirait à retourner sur son île natale, au nord de l'Ecosse. Une île qu'elle a brutalement quittée après la mort de sa mère, quelques années plus tôt. La jeune femme sent très vite qu'elle n'y est pas la bienvenue. La plupart des habitants du village considèrent cette "fille de la ville" comme une étrangère, et les non-dits de l'histoire familiale compliquent les relations avec son père et ses frères. Jusqu'au jour où Flora tombe par hasard sur le vieux cahier de pâtisserie de sa mère. Et si elle avait trouvé la recette pour se réconcilier avec ceux qui l'entourent ?

    On the tiny Scottish island of Mure, Christmas preparations are even more hectic than usual . . . Flora MacKenzie is worried about her brother. Fintan hasn't got over the death of his partner, Colton, and Flora thinks he needs a project. The Rock - the rambling, disused hotel on the tip of the island - was Colton's passion project before he died. With Flora's help, Fintan is going to get the hotel up and running in time for Christmas, transforming it into a festive haven of crackling log fires and delicious food. But running a hotel, they are about to discover, is not that easy. Especially when their motley staff includes a temperamental French chef, a spoilt Norwegian kitchen boy who can't peel a potato without mutilating his own hand and a painfully shy kitchen assistant who blushes when anyone speaks to her. Can they pull it together in time for the big opening? And can Flora help her family find happiness this Christmas?

Saif is welcome in Mure, but can he forget his past? Over one summer, Saif will find a place to call home, and Lorna's life will change forever
