The Highland Books Series

A summer night, a chance encounter... A woman and her child walk into a lonely man's life and change it forever. Ranald McLatchie has battled loneliness and depression all his life. When his sister bullies him into attending a party, he's a reluctant attendee. But the party holds promise in the form of an unintended guest… The Night We First Met is a short story and an exploration of what happens when you take a chance on someone. The story is a prequel to Highland Fling, out now, and it also contains the first chapter of Highland Fling.

A boy, a girl, a dating guru—what can possibly go wrong?! Gaby's recently split from her boyfriend of ten years and needs to escape fast. Where better than the Highlands of Scotland where she can lick her wounds and recover in peace and quiet?   Fate has different ideas in mind. First, there's the rough and ready Jack McAllan who bears more than a passing resemblance to Gaby's favourite fictional Scottish hero. He's an important part of the local community, even if he's failed to impress Gaby so far. Who knew a guy could be so rude and taciturn?   Then, there's the mystery of the woman whose home she now inhabits. Kirsty's left too many tantalising clues for Gaby to resist, not least her not-so-secret identity and YouTube fame. But why did Kirsty run, and does it have anything to do with the red-haired Scot who keeps turning up in Gaby's daydreams much as she tries to resist…   Featuring kilts, mist-cloaked hills, lochs where the water runs deep, spoilt cats and a little too much whisky, Highland Fling is a sweet, fun-filled romp through Scottish small towns and rural life, finding love, making a fool of yourself and discovering that an overactive imagination leads you into all kinds of trouble… The perfect book for fans of chick lit humour, laugh-out loud romantic comedies along the lines of Jill Mansell, Sophie Kinsella and Jenny Colgan.   Praise for Highland Fling: "Took only 4 nights to devour this book, and I loved every page. The story and characters were very credible, in that the lead man is somebody I wouldn't mind the 'love guru' setting me up with." "It's a great mix of funny moments and that 'does he like me' awkwardness. This book is full of witty dialogue, quirky characters you just know you'd recognise if you met them, and scenery that comes to life, making you want to hop in your car and go there." "Just the thing for a windswept autumn afternoon. Witty, fast paced modern romance, fantastic. Would read more by this author." "Great characters and didn't want to put it down! Funny and romantic and definitely made me want to visit Scotland again soon!"   Book number one in the Highland Books series.

An absent boyfriend and a charmer close by—who would you choose? The follow-up to Highland Fling, Highland Heart follows the story of Katya and Dexter—lovers who met at a magical village in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, but who begin to drift apart.   She wants him; he wants her but there are thousands of miles between them.   Meanwhile, there's a new guy in town. Zac is fun, flirtatious and determined to seduce Katya. The trouble is, can she resist? Especially as Dexter seems to be throwing himself into his work as marketing manager for a big reality TV star and her brand-new make-up company on a mission to take over the world.   And what about his relationship with Caitlin, the reality TV star he works for? Is it one hundred percent professional or are those photos that keep popping up in Katya's Instagram feed as innocent as he professes?   Village shenanigans, an eccentric cast of lovable characters and a relatable heroine, this feel-good story explores what happens in a relationship once the initial spark wears off.   The perfect book for fans of chick lit humour and laugh-out loud romantic comedies along the lines of Jill Mansell, Sophie Kinsella and Jenny Colgan, Highland Heart is an engaging, fun-filled romp through Scottish small towns and rural life, finding love, making mistakes and admitting you were wrong.   Reviews of Highland Heart:   "Loved the second instalment of this delightful Scottish drama. Highly recommend both books for an instant Highland getaway."   "An excellent, heart-warming rom-com with all of the funniest characters from the first plus some great new ones. I loved seeing Lochalshie from Katya's point of view this time. Funny, sweet and romantic."   "Great storytelling with characters I really warmed to. I so wanted Katya to be all loved up that I couldn't put it down until I found out who'd she chosen. And the banter between the villagers was classic."   Book number two in the Highland Books series.
