    About this series

    Love in the Scottish Highlands comprises all three volumes of the enchanting 'Bright Young Things' trilogy:

    Highland Pursuits, Highland Christmas, and Highland Wedding


    Lady Ophelia's life is all mapped out: marriage to a cod-faced aristocrat and a life of dull respectability.


    Refusing to play along, she's banished to her ancestral home in the Highlands of Scotland.

    There, she'll be so bored, she'll come to her senses.... Won't she?

    Meeting her eccentric relatives (not to mention ruggedly handsome estate manager Hamish) Ophelia isn't so sure.

    Let the mayhem begin!


    Prepare for romance, mischief and hilarity.


    Heat level : rather saucy and lots of fun


    Performed brilliantly by British actor Gareth J Davies.
