Isabelle
doesn’t want to be found. Michael doesn’t want to be found out. When Damon
starts searching for the centuries-old gold he thinks is buried in the bay, it
won’t matter what walls they’re hiding behind. Rocks will fall. Castles will
crumble. No secrets will be safe.Age old castles and blue-watered bays,
White sandy beaches and quaint cottage stays.
A rainbow of colors and chocolates, hand-dipped,
A valley of bluebells and sheep, freshly clipped.
Legends galore, buried treasure, and more…
In Tobermory, Scotland, that’s what’s in store.

The Wildflowers of Scotland by Sherrie Hansen
Most books set in
Scotland
revolve around highlanders, kilts, and keeps. My Wildflowers of Scotland novels
(Thistle Down, Wild Rose, and Blue Belle - available now, and Shy Violet and Sweet
William – coming soon) are modern-day mixtures of romance and suspense with the
Scottish countryside as a backdrop.
There are plenty
of dark, misty vales, cold, stone castles, and drab, colorless cottages
scattered through Scotland.
What I love most about the wee wildflowers of Scotland is that they provide the
perfect bit of contrast, a much needed dash of color to an otherwise harsh
landscape. I hope you can see the Scotland I love in the bouquet of
wildflowers I’ve picked for you.
Thistle Down – A
prickly, purple thistle saved the day when an Englishman doing reconnaissance stepped
on a particularly thorny specimen and let out a howl, alerting Scottish guards
to an imminent invasion by the English. We can all be a bit oblivious at times,
especially when we’re up against hard rock on one side and well, hard rock on
the other side, too. There’s nothing like the sharp bite of a prickly plant to
make you appreciate what you have and see the beauty in your own back yard.
Wild Rose – No
tame, fragile, domesticated beauties for the hardy seasons of Scotland. Wildflowers
are hardy, stubborn and determined to find a foothold whether they be planted
atop a stone wall, set amongst ruins, or left for dead along the motor way. No
playing it the safe way or being content with the status quo for these lasses
and lads, who are risk-takers, trend setters and wild things, all.
Blue Belle –
There’s nothing quite so satisfying as glimpsing the first wildflowers of
spring after a drab, icy cold, Scottish winter. That first bit of color is not
only well-worth the wait, it’s the very thing that makes the whole frigid lapse
bearable. Good things do come to those who wait. Springtime flowers are all the
sweeter in Scotland,
because you have to endure a bit of weather each year before the wildflowers
return.
Shy Violet – Scotland is a
subtle, understated country in so many ways. No exotic, tropical flowers here.
In Scotland,
it’s about the simple, everyday things of life, pleasures born both of need and
necessity. Keep your eyes open and you’ll see majesty galore in nature’s quiet offerings…
a shy violet hiding behind a rock, a blush of heather in the hills, a splash of
rhododendrons growing deep in the woods.
