A woman desperate to turn a new page heads to the Scottish coast and finds herself locked in a battle of wills with an infuriatingly aloof bookseller in this utterly heartwarming debut, perfect for readers of Evvie Drake Starts Over. “Humor and charm abound. . . . [This] love story hits the spot.”—Publishers Weekly Thea Mottram is having a bad month. She’s been let go from her office job with no notice—and to make matters even worse, her husband of nearly twenty years has decided to leave her for one of her friends. Bewildered and completely lost, Thea doesn’t know what to do. But when she learns that a distant great uncle in Scotland has passed away, leaving her his home and a hefty antique book collection, she decides to leave Sussex for a few weeks. Escaping to a small coastal town where no one knows her seems to be exactly what she needs. Almost instantly, Thea becomes enamored with the quaint cottage, comforted by its cozy rooms and lovely but neglected garden. The locals in nearby Baldochrie are just as warm, quirky, and inviting. The only person she can’t seem to win over is bookshop owner Edward Maltravers, to whom she hopes to sell her uncle’s book collection. His gruff attitude—fueled by an infamous, long-standing feud with his brother, a local lord—tests Thea’s patience. But bickering with Edward proves oddly refreshing and exciting, leading Thea to develop feelings she hasn’t experienced in a long time. As she follows a thrilling yet terrifying impulse to stay in Scotland indefinitely, Thea realizes that her new life may quickly become just as complicated as the one she was running from.

This discounted collection includes three full-length standalone novels from Lily Foster's bestselling Let Me series. First loves, forbidden love, second chance romance and friends to lovers...Find out why readers are calling the Let Me series "an irresistible, binge-worthy read." LET ME HEAL YOUR HEART One hockey phenom, destined for the pros. One summer he can’t forget. One girl he’ll never stop loving... Anna and Declan met under the worst circumstances imaginable, but the summer they spent together branded them both. That summer gave her something to smile about again, and it gave him something to hope for. But that was a long, long time ago. When they literally collide years later, those long-forgotten feelings come rushing back to the surface. Has too much time passed, or are the bonds of our first true love as strong as they feel when we’re young, innocent, and still believe in the promise of forever? LET ME FALL Shame, secrets, and the lies we tell ourselves... In the weeks leading up to graduation, Carolyn Harris was the single-most hated member of her senior class. The girl who drove the school’s golden boy to his demise. The girl who did something sordid and shameful. Exposed in a cruel and very public way, everyone said she got what she deserved. She used to be the perfect girl, the apple of her parents' eye. But a secret, once revealed, sets a devastating chain of events into motion, destroying everything and everyone in its wake. They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, and Jeremy Rivers is all kinds of wrong for Carolyn on paper. He’s angry, unpredictable…He’s trouble. But the boy who loved her before her world fell apart loves her still, and with his help, Carolyn is going to learn that everyone—even a girl like her—deserves a happy ending. WHEN I LET YOU GO Twelve years ago I ruined my life... Lost the one girl I've ever truly loved and I've been living a lie ever since. I go home to my wife...most nights. But I'm just going through the motions, living the life I was born into, married to a girl predestined for me. It's not my wife's fault, but sometimes I can barely stand the sight of her. Do I sound like a heartless bastard? That's exactly what I am. Go ahead and hate me if you want, but you couldn’t possibly hate me more than I already hate myself. My name is Dylan Cole. It's a name synonymous with power. I am rich beyond measure, domineering, and ruthless when it comes to getting what I want. But I cannot have her. This is what happened...When I Let You Go *Critical Acclaim for Lily Foster* Let Me Heal Your Heart is a heartbreaking story of first loves and adversity that can be read as a standalone. This is an emotional roller coaster about two lost souls given a second chance to be together. Told from both protagonists' points of view, Foster allows us to see the story from a unique perspective, and the reader may be surprised where their allegiances lie. -RT Book Reviews Smart and attractive Carolyn Harris and academically-challenged football star Jeremy Rivers find their lives intertwined in a wealthy Connecticut town in this gripping tale that effectively straddles the line between young adult and romance. Both the sweetness of young love and the dark underside of high school cliques are effectively depicted by a well-developed cast of characters shadowed by tragedy but reaching for independence and happiness. While the conventional ending is never in doubt, readers will find themselves deeply engaged by Carolyn and Jeremy and the twists and turns of this genuinely engrossing story. -Publisher's Weekly, The BookLife Prize in Fiction, Let Me Fall In the fifth installment of her Let Me series, Foster (Let Me Heal Your Heart, 2015, etc.) introduces Carolyn Harris, a motivated and competent high schooler who has her entire future mapped out. She is a stellar student, a self-declared science nerd, and the kindest member of her perpetually back-stabbing group of friends. She is also dating Drew Oliver, the alpha male of the senior class. Unfortunately, Carolyn is much more interested in Jeremy Rivers, the bad boy who returns to her high school after many years at a school for students with learning disabilities. Carolyn is nervous but secretly delighted when she is asked by the school counselor to tutor Jeremy. They grow close, and Carolyn realizes that she cares more deeply for Jeremy than Drew. After she dumps Drew, Jeremy and Carolyn can be together, much to the reader’s delight. As soon as it seems they couldn’t possibly be happier, however, a whirlwind of disastrous events occurs. A secret from Carolyn’s past emerges, and Drew commits a violent act that upends everyone’s lives. Carolyn’s affluent suburban community suddenly shuns her, and her long-term life plans begin unraveling. She pushes Jeremy away, determining herself unworthy of his love. The novel toggles between Carolyn’s and Jeremy’s alternating perspectives, allowing the reader to understand their motivations. With her character-driven plot and fast-moving storyline, Foster easily keeps readers engaged. Although the ending isn’t surprising, the journey toward that resolution is fraught with unexpected twists. Foster’s prose is easygoing and readable, but she still tackles weighty issues in this romantic story, ranging from bullying and sex shaming to mental illness and living with learning disabilities. An involving tale of love and redemption that will satisfy discerning fans of the new-adult genre. -Kirkus Reviews, Let Me Fall
