Meet Ben and Natalie, two middle-aged insomniacs hiding out at the nearly deserted Eagle Lake Resort. Natalie is a frustrated writer whose life has just imploded; Ben is a reclusive widower with a serious mistrust of people. When they discover they're the only two guests, neither is thrilled-and a feud over firewood is just the beginning.

As the summer drags on, they find themselves spending more time together. The sparks fly, but not always in the way they expect. For two people with deep wounds, vulnerability feels like a dangerous game.

When a misunderstanding threatens to tear them apart, they're forced to face the painful truths they've been avoiding. Secondary Feathers is a story about healing, letting go, and the unexpected ways we connect. But in the end, it's a story about a woman who must make a choice-and it's one no one could have predicted.

Sometimes, the most powerful love story is the one you have with yourself.

"Here's the thing though . . ." He trails off thoughtfully and then he looks straight at me. His eyes are steely and that makes me realise the fundamental difference between the young Ryan and this Ryan. He's hardened now. The sweet boy I once knew is probably still in there somewhere but life eventually got to him and he had to toughen up. "I need someone I can rely on. I don't want to take a person on who just decides it's too much hassle a few days or weeks in and just . . . Ghosts me." He finishes. There's a definite challenge there. He's not just talking about the job. He's getting a dig in there about the way I disappeared out of his life. As well as implying I'm generally unreliable . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iona Stewart is pretty sure she's having a premature midlife crisis. Recently made redundant, permanently unlucky in love, and back living with her parents, she's desperate for a change of scenery. So when an opportunity comes up to work in a hotel in the Highlands, it seems like fate has stepped in. The problem? Her new boss is Ryan Thorne. Her former friend. Her first crush. And the boy who broke her heart nearly 17 years ago. She had no intention of ever seeing him again after that night. And it seems he isn't that keen on having *her* around either. Be prepared for nineties flashbacks, many awkward encounters, and *hopefully* a happy ever after . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ❤️Second Place in the Chick-Lit category in The Pink Cloud Awards❤️ ❤️Second Place in the Chick-Lit category in The Hibiscus Awards❤️ ❤️Winner of Best Opening in Chick Lit in the Berry Pancake awards❤️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Complete companion novella entitled "No Reservations: Ryan's Version" is now available*
