Skyler Harrington’s world has fallen apart: her ex-fiance is a serial philanderer, her beloved Grams has died, and she’s quit her job. Escaping her city life, Sky seeks refuge on Martha’s Vineyard. She hires Nate Batchelor, local Island goatscaper, to clear a view of Tisbury Great Pond with his herd of unruly goats.
Nate knows better than to get involved with a summer person — and a rich one at that — but the attraction for both is instant and undeniable. Sky’s new life quickly collides with her old, and she must make some tough decisions.
Runaway goats, quirky characters, and a comedy of error set the stage in this sea-breezy novel that proves love will find you — whether you want it to or not.
“Goats in the Time of Love is a delightful romp of a novel that will transport you to summertime island life, complete with sandy beaches, sun-warmed skin, briny oysters and tangy wild blueberries, ocean sunsets, and, of course, romance. And the romance is the best kind, the this-may-not-be-right-for-me-but-it-feels-so-good-I-can’t-think-about-anything-else kind of romance with all its thrills and pitfalls. Pour yourself a cold glass of iced tea and sit back and get to know runaway socialite Sky, her down-to-earth landscaper Nate (the goat guy), Sky’s impossible mother, and a cast of friends—some very real, some superficial—who threaten to derail Sky’s relationship and her future.”– KATHLEEN McCLEARY, author of Leaving Haven, A Simple Thing, and House & Home
