As a travel blogger, Ivy Young has made a career out of remote ramblings. She spends her days seeking new experiences in out-of-the-way places. She loves the thrill of adaptation and finding community in the unexpected.
The fact that it's a convenient excuse to avoid dating is a perk.
Now, she's heading to a remote Scottish lighthouse island for six months. The island has one permanent resident: Quinn Galloway. A brilliant engineer who abandoned city life years ago in favour of wind-battered cliffs and solitude. Gruff, private, and entirely uninterested in company, Quinn is less than thrilled to discover he'll be sharing his carefully ordered world with a stranger.
Begrudgingly, he and Ivy agree to make it work.
As winter closes in, the two tentatively grow closer. Between shared meals and long walks with Quinn's gorgeous dog, Skye, Ivy finds herself becoming part of a life she never expected to want. But just because she wants it doesn't mean she can have it.
Quinn is a lot of things, but asexual isn't one of them... right?
A warm, heartfelt romance about belonging, found family, and remembering that love doesn't always look the way the world expects it to.
