The Highlander

When burned-out literary agent Cassidy unexpectedly inherits a bookshop on the remote Scottish isle of Moray from a distant relative, she trades Manhattan for rolling moors and is determined to revive the struggling store. As Cassidy falls for the charm of the cozy community and Lachlan, the town's saltiest sailor, her passion for the shop collides with her growing feelings for the town’s most disliked local. She must navigate her budding romance carefully, or risk unraveling her dream of a new bookish life in Scotland.

PREVIEW
Cassidy swaps skyscrapers for Scottish shores when she inherits a charming old bookshop from her long-estranged grandfather. While working on the shop, she meets Lachlan, a ruggedly handsome local sailor who both intrigues and irks her. One stormy night, Cassidy's walk along the shore takes a dangerous turn as she falls into the churning sea. It's none other than Lachlan who comes to her rescue, whisking her back to his cottage to warm up. And as the storm rages outside, things between Cassidy and Lachlan heat up very quickly inside.

When a bad dream wakes you up, Lachlan comforts you and carries you downstairs. He lights a fire and your late-night snuggle session quickly sparks into something far spicier.
Seeking refuge from a storm, you duck into the local church, only to find Lachlan among the pews. What begins as innocent banter soon ignites into something quite sinful.
You come home to a sweet surprise—Lachlan has hung bookshelves in your bedroom. The romantic gesture has you both feeling the heat and what starts as a cozy night quickly turns spicy.
A stormy night brings Lachlan to your door, armed with whiskey and candles. As thunder rolls outside, intimate confessions by firelight lead to unexpected passion.
It's a beautiful spring day and Lachlan is chopping wood out behind the cabin. You step outside, to lend a hand, but find yourself lingering nearby, watching the graceful flex of his muscles with each swing. He notices your gaze and shoots you a knowing look. The air begins to crackle with an undeniable spark. And what started as a simple chore, turns into something much more wild.
Feeling adventurous, Lachlan suggests trying something different tonight. Listen in as he surrenders all his control.
You’re out with Lachlan and what starts out as a fun night turns into a fiery fight about a local girl who was flirting with him. But outside the bar, he admits that he’s always loved you and by the time you’re in the car together you can’t keep your hands off each other.
When you accidentally fall into the water, a gruff local sailor named Lachlan saves you. He’s angry that you were out on such a stormy night, but brings you back to his cottage nonetheless. He makes you a fire and runs you a bath and warms you all the way back up.
