She’s an Englishwoman in a Scotsman’s job… What could possibly go wrong?
Jamie Macallan-Grant has officially hit rock bottom. She’s sleeping with her married boss, living with her alcoholic mother, and is fed up of waiting for her real life to begin. But when an unexpected letter arrives, informing her that she’s inherited a Highland estate from an unknown relative, suddenly Jamie has a chance at a new beginning.
Alasdair Beattie is nursing a broken heart. Coming home to the village he grew up in, and taking on a job as the local headteacher, he had been hoping for a quieter life. But between the threatened closure of the little village school, and the arrival of their curious new Laird, Alasdair’s settled world is suddenly thrown upside down.
Befriended by Alasdair’s family, city girl Jamie finds herself unexpectedly warming to life in this remote Highland community; not to mention growing quite fond of the rugged, but soft-hearted, Scotsman himself. And the more she finds out about the inhabitants of the estate - from surly single mother Becca, to her own enigmatic, but long departed, father - the more Jamie begins to question where in the world she really belongs.
