Take a spring to summer trip to magical Northumberland and find love and laughter in this feel-good romantic comedy, which will transport you to the iconic island of Lindisfarne and beyond...

Ellie, and Zen with the coffee-bean eyes, met at Christmas when she came to Northumberland to look after rescue animals. They are taking their first tentative steps into a love-at-first-sight relationship and all in their spring garden should be wonderful.

Notification of a death of one of the island’s stalwarts comes as a shock and the island is plunged into mourning. Then when Lady Grace takes ill, life at the castle changes overnight, and not for the better. The new custodian and his fiancée have plans, and the islanders are far from happy, especially as it affects their own.

The news that the filming of a reality show is to take place and that the animals must move out of their yard due to the Queen of the Castle production company taking over, really is the final straw.

Can Zen and Ellie navigate their new life together? Will the residents be able to return to cosy Courtyard Cottage? Can the castle and estate survive the new regime?

Amongst all the drama, Love Beyond Lindisfarne is a story of love, laughter, intergenerational friendships, camaraderie, and oodles of the warmth and humour found in this very special corner of the world.
