Inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion. She returned to save her
family's dying legacy--but found the ghosts of her past alive and
well.
Susan Napier's family once lived on the success of the high-end
restaurants founded by her late grandfather. But bad luck and worse
management has brought the business to the edge of financial ruin. Now
it's up to Susan to save the last remaining restaurant: Elliot's, the
flagship in Edinburgh.
But what awaits Susan in the charming city of Auld Reekie is more than
she bargained for. Chris Baker, her grandfather's former protégé--and
her ex-boyfriend--is also heading to the Scottish capital. After finding
fame in New York as a chef and judge of a popular TV cooking
competition, Chris is returning to his native Scotland to open his own
restaurant. Although the storms have cleared after their intense and
rocky breakup, Susan and Chris are re-drawn into each other's orbit--and
their simmering attraction inevitably boils over.
As Chris's restaurant opens to great acclaim and Susan tries to haul
Elliot's back from the brink, the future brims with new promise. But
darkness looms as they find themselves in the crosshairs of a gossip
blogger eager for a juicy story--and willing to do anything to get it.
Can Susan and Chris reclaim their lost love, or will the tangled past
ruin their last hope for happiness?
