One night stand. One new job. One huge problem...

Edie Jones never expected her fling with a hot bartender in New York to follow her across the ocean - let alone land her in a wild Scottish castle, face-to-face with the grumpy, kilt-wearing duke she can't forget.

Struggling writer Edie Jones throws caution to the wind for one unforgettable night.Back in England, she jumps at a dream ghostwriting assignment - three months in the Scottish Highlands, writing the memoirs of the late Duke of Kinnaird.

There’s just one problem: the new Duke of Kinnaird.

The man she slept with in Manhattan owns half of Scotland, and he’s not exactly happy to see her.

Rory Kinnaird is a brooding, buttoned-up billionaire, determined Edie won't get anywhere near his secrets - or his self-control. But with the curvy redhead living down the hall, digging through his father’s diaries and charming everyone from the cook to the stablehands, focusing on his legacy might be the one battle he can't win.

"This grumpy sunshine page-turner had me hooked from the very first page!"
