ABOUT THE BOOK
Callie Winter is the kind of person who holds everything together—for her family, her friends, her coworkers. But this Christmas, she’s hoping to catch her breath in the Scottish Highlands and maybe rediscover a little joy along the way. A kiss with a charming stranger in a pub? The perfect holiday distraction.
Until he rejects her.
Gavin Mackenzie doesn’t do flings, especially not with tourists who’ll be gone before the snow melts. He’s got enough on his plate—keeping the old family cottage running, managing the quiet that sometimes feels like loneliness, and pretending he’s just fine, thank you very much. The last thing he needs is a whirlwind American trying to kiss him in a pub… or move into his personal space.
But when a snowstorm leaves them stranded together, Callie’s forced to stay with the last man she wants to face. She’s prickly and wounded. He’s charming but distant. And neither of them are prepared for the slow burn that starts to crack their walls.
In between the cocoa and the Christmas tree, they’ll both have to face what they’re really afraid of: asking for what they need… and trusting someone else to give it.

REVIEW
Super duper great! From the first page. There is embarrassment, fun, laughter, and wonderful deep relationships in this book. I enjoyed getting to know all the highland neighbors. I appreciated the way Callie and Gavin got to know one another. While it happened fast, there was surprising depth to their relationship. I also didn’t realize it connected to another one of my favorite Christmas holiday books by her as well (Cotswold Holiday). She always delivers fun and romance along with great characters who feel like real people. And really, don’t we all want to go to Scotland and fall in love? If we can’t, we’ll cheer those who can, even if fictional.
