Mending Lost Dreams at the Highland Repair Shop: A BRAND NEW uplifting, feel-good, romantic read from Kiley Dunbar for 2025

Curl up with this BRAND-NEW heartwarming, romantic and inspiring Highlands-set story that will leave a smile on your face 💗🏔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Veronica Henry and Heidi Swain. 🧵🪡 Welcome to the Highland Repair Shop, where mending broken things – be they clocks, compasses or hearts – is a way of life.

After a gruelling few years in city hospitals, trainee doctor Alice hopes a new, small-town post will bring quiet to her racing mind. Instead, she finds a place brimming with eccentricity and curiosity, and people who seem to see straight through her carefully controlled facade.

Murray has returned to his hometown with a broken heart and his tail between his legs. Volunteering at the family-run repair shop is meant to be temporary... until a chance encounter starts to crack his emotional armour.

Meanwhile, mountain ranger Finlay lives for solitude and the wild and rugged scenery. But when a broken compass draws him reluctantly into town life, he finds himself pulled not just into a community project, but into the kind of tangled feelings he’s spent a lifetime avoiding.

As a new garden is built and winter weather rages, lives will be patched, polished and set on entirely new courses. Can these lonely hearts be mended, and finally find happiness and love?
