When Bonnie impulsively flees to a tiny Scottish town to escape her string of job failures, she's hoping for a fresh start—not a feisty collision with Rowan, the brooding local handyman who seems determined to ignore her existence. As their paths keep crossing in this charming Highland village, their constant bickering gives way to something much hotter, and both begin to realize they might be exactly what the other needs. With witty banter, undeniable chemistry, and two lost souls finding their way, this is the kind of feel-good escape that'll have you swooning and laughing in equal measure. Perfect for anyone who loves a good enemies-to-lovers story wrapped up in Scottish charm!
