Goats in the Time of Love: A Martha's Vineyard love story with goats, a dog, and some recipes, Paperback/T. Elizabeth Bell

This frolicsome novel set on the idyllic island of Martha's Vineyard is witty, heart-warming, and perfect for any beach bag. Schuyler Harrington has fallen apart: her ex-fianc 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 and scion of one of the Island's oldest families, 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 errors set the stage in this sea-breezy novel that proves that love will find you--whether you want it to or not.
