Nina is a librarian who spends her days happily matchmaking books and peopleβ€”she always knows what someone should read next. But when her beloved library closes and she's suddenly out of a job, Nina has no idea what to do next. Then an advert catches her eye: she could be the owner of a tiny little bookshop bus, driving around the Scottish Highlands.

Using up all her courage and her savings, Nina makes a new start in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. But real life is a bit trickier than the stories she lovesβ€”especially when she keeps having to be rescued by the grumpy-but-gorgeous farmer next door...

Dreams start here . . .
