Starting Over Scottish: A Grumpy Sunshine Holiday Romance
Grumpy. Meet Sunshine.
She’s American. He’s Scottish. She’s looking for a fresh start. He’s returning to rediscover his roots.
Harper Scott is starting over. She’s signed up for a work-for-hire Scottish Pub Experience only to discover a half-naked and irritatingly handsome Scotsman in the apartment she’s rented. It’s Christmas season, there’s no room at the inn, and the two are both stubborn enough to refuse to give up the rental.
Now, with the pub being threatened by developers, and Harper’s fresh new start tainted by a decidedly grumpy Scotsman determined to make her leave, Harper must decide what’s more important – beating the Scotsman at his own game or saving the pub in time for Christmas. Let the (Highland) games begin.
Author’s Note: a stubborn American takes on a grumpy Scotsman in this stand-alone, small-town, Scottish romance novella. A bit of banter, war kittens, a pub makeover, and a heartwarming happily ever after makes this the perfect Christmas treat.
Second Chance Scottish: a small-town Christmas romance
"He’s famous for heartbreak ballads. She’s famous for ignoring him.
When Noah Byrne’s career implodes in a very public scandal, the grumpy Scottish rock star retreats to the only place no one would think to look–his sleepy hometown. The plan is simple. Hide out, avoid paparazzi, and wait for the storm to pass.
He books the last room at the local inn owned by Skye Kerrigan. His first love. And the only woman who has ever walked away from him.
Skye has no time for rock gods with wounded egos. The inn is hanging by a thread and she’s fighting to keep her family’s legacy alive.
Noah offers a deal. He’ll play for the town’s Christmas charity concert if she gives him a place to hide out.
And when the spotlight comes calling again, Skye must decide if her first love is really worth an encore?
Author’s Note: This book is a stand-alone, small-town Scottish Christmas romance with second chances, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine banter, a matchmaking book club, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after."
Highland Hearts Holiday Bookshop
"Delicious banter, bookstore magic, adorable puffins, and a heartwarmingly happily-ever-after makes this an enchanting Christmas treat.
The universe is playing a joke on me.
An unexpected inheritance has gifted me with the dream of a lifetime – owning a charming bookshop in small-town Scotland. Little did I know this gift comes with a surprise – Highland Hearts bookshop has been running an underground magical matchmaking service – and as new owner of the shop, I am expected to deliver on these matches.
As Christmas looms, and lonely hearts beg for love, I’m tossed into the world of magic and romance, aided by a meddling book club who seems more interested in romance than reading.
The problem is – I just don’t believe in love. Or so I thought.
It turns out there’s one local bird nerd and Scottish hottie, Alexander MacTavish, who has my heart all aflutter. While he’s more into puffins than paperbacks, I can’t help but notice he’s showing up at the bookshop to help every time something goes wrong. Maybe it’s my determination to have an adventure, or maybe it’s the magic, but every time tall, dark, and grumpy enters my bookshop, I find myself wanting to read up on birds just to catch his attention.
As my newfound magic falters, and the town enters my shop into a cutthroat Christmas window decorating competition, I find myself working side-by-side with Alexander, who seems just as determined to avoid love as I am.
With Christmas fast approaching, I must figure out if I can suspend my disbelief and make the match of a lifetime – my own."
