When Heather Delaney is injured in a shocking act of violence, her life is thrown off course. Struggling to return to work, she is haunted by the incident. Was it random or personal? Will they try again? Heather is not the only one who is rocked by the attack. Her brother, Adam, and his second wife, Jill, already juggling the demands of work and pre-teen children, find their marriage is straining at the seams. Adam disappears into his music while Jill attempts to keep all the balls in the air. Shaun, Heather's offsider, young, loyal and ambitious, questions his relationship; Diane, an office volunteer, can't stop the bitterness pouring out after a mid-life divorce; and Heather's aunt, Barbara, is about to have her peaceful rural retirement disrupted by conflicting loyalties. Then along comes Heather's old flame, Ellis. Romantic, flamboyant, determined to recapture the past and take control of the future, he seems to have all the answers. But can it really be that easy?

Alex is taking the trip of a lifetime – thinking it will be a wonderful holiday, Little does he know he’ll be getting a lot more than he bargained for. He is far more resilient than he believed, and surprises his best friend as well as his worried mother with how well he deals with it all. Of course, getting to know Gavin is a huge part of the attraction during this adventure. Never having had any luck with men, Alex is surprised and delighted at the turn of events with ‘his Scotsman’.
Gavin is a businessman and used to being in control. Suddenly finding himself powerless does not sit well with him, but he is used to finding solutions for difficult problems, so he manages to deal. Integrity and honesty are very important to him, and he is just the man to pull Alex out of his self-imposed shell. In return, Alex manages to attract Gavin enough that he will consider major changes in his own life.
The message behind this story, about never giving up, being true to yourself, and enjoying happiness without asking too many questions, is one I really liked. Reading it as an entertaining story with a great mix of mystery, adventure and developing love made it even better. If you like stories with some excitement (but not too much), if average guys suddenly dealing with less-than-normal situations are your thing, and if you appreciate travel and hearing about different places and what life abroad might be like, you will probably like this book.
