David Brandon, a writer and artist living in New York City, seeks the solace and potential inspiration of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. During a brief stop in Tennessee he is drawn to a boarded up mansion known locally as "Ian's Place." Quickly changing his plans, David decides to rent the home for his studio. While moving in, he is soon immersed in the mysteries and history of the house. He experiences the first of several encounters with previous owners of Ian's Place. Current reality and history begin to merge as the secrets of Ian's Place are revealed. Without warning to do so, David is drawn into the mysteries of the home, the area, and Scottish history. The only part of his life not immediately affected by this obsession is his blossoming relationship with Sarah, an attractive, independent widow. However, the mysticism and attraction of Ian's Place soon totally envelops his life. Daily discoveries allow David to piece together the home's history, and as each piece fits into place, David is pulled further and further towards the answers he is not even aware exist. His experiences with Scottish history and Ian's Place are physically consuming and almost drug-like in their attraction to David. All too soon these experiences threaten his career, his life, his relationship with Sarah, but also his sanity.

A New York Times bestseller From the author of the New York Times bestselling Love & Gelato comes a heartwarming tale of a road trip through Ireland filled with love, adventure, and the true meaning behind the word family. Addie is visiting Ireland for her aunt’s over-the-top destination wedding and hoping she can stop thinking about the one thing she did that left her miserable and heartbroken—and threatens her future. But her brother, Ian, isn’t about to let her forget, and his constant needling leads to arguments and even a fistfight between the two once inseparable siblings. Miserable, Addie can’t wait to visit her friend in Italy and leave her brother—and her problems—behind. So when Addie discovers an unusual guidebook, Ireland for the Heartbroken, hidden in the dusty shelves of the hotel library, she’s able to finally escape her anxious mind and Ian’s criticism. And then their travel plans change. Suddenly Addie finds herself on a whirlwind tour of the Emerald Isle, trapped in the world’s smallest vehicle with Ian and his admittedly cute, Irish-accented friend Rowan. As the trio journeys over breathtaking green hills, past countless castles, and through a number of fairy-tale forests, Addie hopes her guidebook will heal not only her broken heart, but also her shattered relationship with her brother. That is if they don’t get completely lost along the way.

Alastair Bonnett explores extraordinary, off-grid, offbeat places including micro-nations, moving villages, secret cities, and no man's lands. Consider Sealand, an abandoned gun platform off the English coast that a British citizen claimed as his own sovereign nation, issuing passports and making his wife a princess. Or Baarle, a patchwork city of Dutch and Flemish enclaves where crossing the street can involve traversing national borders. Or Sandy Island, which appeared on maps well into 2012 despite the fact it never existed.
