A Scot on the Rocks
(2026)(The seventh book in the Scots Through Time series)
A novel by Cynthia Luhrs
A charming Highland rogue. A jaded American bartender. And absolutely no chance this ends according to plan.
Olivia Bennett has heard every line in the book. Ten years tending bar in Columbus, Ohio will do that to a woman. She's learned to spot a smooth talker before he finishes his opening sentence, and she's done falling for the charming ones.
So when she wins an international mixology competition, the prize feels like a dream. A trip to the Scottish Highlands for the grand reopening of a historic whisky distillery, and the rare honor of tasting from a centuries-old barrel just unearthed during renovations. Olivia packs her bags expecting good scotch, better views, and zero romantic entanglements.
She's definitely not expecting a lightning storm, a hidden tunnel, and a one-way trip to 1786. Now stranded in the past, Olivia finds herself at the mercy of Jamie Campbell, a notorious Highland rogue with a crooked grin, a dangerous reputation, and absolutely no respect for rules. Every tavern keeper knows him. Every village seems to have a story about him. And judging by the number of women calling his name, Jamie has left a trail of broken hearts across half the Highlands.
Jamie is convinced the beautiful stranger who appeared near one of his smuggling routes must be connected to the king's tax collector. Olivia is convinced Jamie is reckless, irresponsible, and exactly the kind of man she swore off years ago.
Unfortunately, she's also living in his hidden cottage, riding his horse, and much to her irritation, discovering she knows more about spirits than any man who's spent his life making them illegally.
As danger closes in and Olivia discovers a possible way home, she'll have to decide what matters more, the safe, guarded life she built for herself... or the brooding Highland rogue who was never supposed to steal her heart.
Perfect for readers who love charming rogues, opposites attract, forced proximity, found family, Highland adventures, whisky smuggling, and happily ever afters.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
