Fall in love with the brand new escapist Scottish romance from bestselling author, Julie Shackman! *** `The perfect Scottish romance' My Weekly `A gorgeous, uplifting and wonderfully romantic tale of taking chances' The People's Friend Daisy's career hasn't exactly been going to plan and the last thing she wants to do is stay home and wallow in self pity. So when an opportunity arises to escape her London home, and make some money working a fancy event at a stately home, she jumps at it. Determined to make the most out of the situation, she decides a road trip to the Scottish Highlands would be the perfect way to reset and take control of her life. When devilishly handsome Evan finds himself stranded at the event following a cancelled flight to Scotland, Daisy does the kindest thing she can think of and invites him to join her. As they embark on their journey north, will the scenic trip help them rediscover themselves, and possibly even find something they weren't expecting.
