First Comes Love

In the picturesque Scottish village of Glenbrae, two women with opposing views on love find themselves inexplicably drawn together after a runaway spaniel plays matchmaker.

Brogan Mearns, the new headmistress at the prestigious local school, doesn't do relationships-not after escaping the manipulation of her ex in London. Minister Libby Brown believes romance should precede passion, a principle that's left her heart untouched for years. Neither is looking for love, yet they can't seem to stay away from each other.

When a kitchen fire leaves Brogan temporarily homeless and the sudden death of her uncle leaves her emotionally raw, the carefully maintained boundaries between them collapse. One night of vulnerability and passion changes everything-but morning brings complications. As Brogan returns to London to handle her uncle's affairs, a vengeful ex reappears, threatening their tenuous connection with calculated cruelty.

Back in Glenbrae, Libby must decide if she can trust again, while Brogan confronts her deepest fears about commitment. With small-town scrutiny, professional challenges, and their own opposing philosophies standing in their way, they face an impossible question: is what they've found strong enough to overcome the fundamental differences in how they view love itself?
