About this book

Maddie invented the perfect imaginary Scottish suitor to escape the horrors of the London marriage market—a dashing Captain MacKenzie who existed only in her letters and her heart. Years of blissful solitude later, that impossible dream walks through her door in the form of a real, flesh-and-blood Highlander who's read every word she ever wrote to him and has absolutely no intention of letting her pretend he doesn't exist. What unfolds is a deliciously witty dance between the shy woman who fell in love with her own fiction and the jaded soldier who might just be the one person who sees her most clearly. This is Tessa Dare at her most charming—a enemies-to-lovers romp wrapped in Highland romance that'll have you swooning over a man who refuses to be anything less than gloriously, messily real.

yearningwittyromantic tensionscottish charmplayfully passionate

Witty banter meets slow-burn tension with Scottish folk warmth and indie romance. Think acoustic guitar, clever storytelling vocals, and that delicious moment when fantasy becomes real. Blend folk ballads with indie pop—yearning meets confident charm, playful yet deeply romantic.
