3. Vintage Dress Shop on the Island
Skye and Holly’s vintage dress shop on the Scottish island is featured in a fashion magazine, and the publicity makes the sales of their gorgeous vintage dresses soar. And it attracts the attention of another publication. Celia’s magazine in Glasgow wants to feature the vintage dress shop in their next issue and cover the fashion show that’s being held in the island’s fairytale castle.
Ailsa is back home on the island from her modelling work on the mainland, and helps her friends Skye and Holly organise the fashion show. The castle’s owners, three rich, young and handsome men, Finlay, Innis and Ean are keen to help too.
Ean’s feelings for Ailsa run deep, but will he tell her he’s secretly in love with her, before another man, like Rory the fit and handsome builder wins Ailsa’s heart?
Find out in this cosy romance set on the Scottish Island, filled with fashion, passion, beautiful vintage dresses, friendship and fun.

A total fashion romance fantasy
Escapism at its best. Really good structure to hang a series of romances on. I just wonder how they all keep their figures with all the food they eat.

A delightful read, as were the other books in this series. I know they are pure escapism but I could happily live amongst these characters, in this setting. I love De-Ann Black's work.

read the series and fall in love with it
Great series, hooks you in with the flowing story line and community spirit. Lots of repeated descriptive detail but great easy read.
