Prairie Gold

Self-deprecation was Lainey Mcintyre’s default. Having moved to Canada five years ago, trading the rolling green hills of the Scottish Isles for the pretty, quaint small town of Primrose, Lainey struggled to plant roots in the community. Unable to keep a job and manage her ADHD tendencies, she reluctantly moves back in with her overprotective older brother, August. A brother who sacrificed the life he wanted to raise her after the death of their parents.

Eli Weston never doubted where he belonged in his community. The Westons, amongst the founding families of Primrose, Eli took pride in maintaining the legacy of his family potato farm, sadly neglecting his love life in the process. Divorced and a single father sharing custody of his 13-year-old daughter, Jemma, Eli seldom dated knowing his heart had already been captured long ago. Captured by the magical Scottish red head with whiskey-colored eyes. A young woman with whom he shares an intense attraction and who happens to be the sister of his best friend.

After Eli’s ex-wife decides to move out of province with her new husband, and his daughter chooses to live with him he offers Lainey a job as her caregiver, ignoring the voices in his head telling him it’s a bad idea. With her moved into his home their attraction for each other becomes undeniable and they enter a secret relationship which very quickly becomes a passionate all-consuming love. When their relationship anonymity is threatened it shines a light on Eli’s ex-wife’s control over his happiness leading Lainey to question whether Eli will fight for her. Will their taboo relationship be resilient enough to endure the scrutiny or will they let the judgement of others keep them apart?

Prairie Gold is a warm and inspiring love story celebrating the importance of choice and the resilience of steadfast love.
