'A beautiful, slow burn of a novel, eerie and shimmering in equal measure' - Mary Paulson-Ellis
Hare House is not its real name, of course. I have, if you will forgive me, kept names to a minimum here, for reasons that will become understandable . . .
In the first brisk days of autumn, a woman arrives in Scotland having left her job at an all-girls school in London in mysterious circumstances. Moving into a cottage on the remote estate of Hare House, she begins to explore her new home – a patchwork of hills, moorland and forest. But among the tiny roads, dykes and scattered houses, something more sinister lurks: local tales of witchcraft, clay figures and young men sent mad.
Striking up a friendship with her landlord, Grant, and his younger sister, Cass, she begins to suspect that all might not be quite as it seems at Hare House. And as autumn turns to winter, and a heavy snowfall traps the inhabitants of the estate within its walls, tensions rise to fever pitch.
Sally Hinchcliffe’s Hare House is a modern-day witch story, perfect for fans of Pine and The Loney.
Welcome to Magnolia Bloom, where hearts heal and magic happens…in a castle…in East Texas…
Lexi Stewart’s lineage extends to the founders of the MacInnes legacy in far away America. A year has passed since she was widowed much too young, but she’s floundering, so she accepts an invitation to escape her beloved Scotland for a needed respite. Surely a visit with her Texas relatives and a stay at Castle MacInnes will put her back to rights.
There’s just one problem: Logan Jameson. The handsome personal trainer is getting everyone in Magnolia Bloom on a fitness kick, and he's determined to make her believe she’s not too old or too heavy to find love again.
She’s equally determined to prove him wrong. She'd loved her husband and loves her peaceful life. It doesn't matter she's never known grand passion, been consumed by desire, or experienced the joy of being pursued. And she’s never, ever considered being the pursuer.
She’ll take this long overdue vacation and return home, intent on living in her quiet home, in her quiet town, in the security of her quiet future. That will be enough.
Isn’t it?

Welcome to Magnolia Bloom, where hearts heal and magic happens... in a castle... in East Texas
Dara and Lexi -- two women separated by time – are both drawn into the magical MacInnes family. Both believe true love is out of their reach… but what if they’re wrong?
1890 –
Dara Doyle will do anything to protect her baby. Sold to a bordello as a young girl, she’s escaped that life, and she’ll protect her precious Orla with her last breath. When a relative schemes to strip Orla from Dara’s very arms, she learns just how fiercely she’ll fight. Even if it means as the wife—in name only—of Bruce MacInnes. Even if it means leaving everything she knows to go to America and the tiny Texas town of Magnolia Bloom.
Now –
Lexi Stewart is a descendant of Alyssa MacInnes, one of the powerhouse women who created the MacInnes legacy. Lexi is lost. A young widow…well, young in her own eyes…Lexi's coming to terms with the fact that true passion was never in her cards—and certainly isn’t in her future. She’s equally sure she has nothing in common with Alyssa, her impressive ancestor, or Dara Doyle, the Irish spitfire who captured the oldest MacInnes son’s heart a century ago. Still, it’s a lovely story, one she’d love to live herself, but it’s a tale meant only for dreams.
She wasn’t looking for love. But will she turn it away when it finds her?
Alyssa MacInnes is perfectly happy with her life—just as it is. A proud suffragette, she knows she doesn’t need love to feel whole. Besides, being responsible for the financial operations of several businesses in the booming new city of Magnolia Bloom keeps her way too busy for romance.
Then he sails into her small town and makes her question everything…
He’s a Highlander who challenges her. Riles her. Speaks to her in a thick brogue that makes her long for her homeland. She shouldn’t want him. But she does…
Building a life with her handsome Scot would mean giving up what she’s created for herself in America. In the end, will the cost of a happily ever after be more than Alyssa is willing to pay?
