Unwrap this gorgeous gift of a book for an escape to the snow-peaked caps of the Scottish Highlands and a romance that will melt your heart…

Izzy McBride had never in a million years expected to inherit an actual castle from her great uncle Bill but here she was, in the run up to Christmas, Monarch of her own Glen – a very rundown glen in need of a lot of TLC if her dream of turning it into a boutique bed and breakfast was to come true.

But when Izzy’s eccentric mother rents a room to enigmatic thriller author Ross Adair and the Scottish snow starts to settle like the frosting on a Christmas cake, it’s a race to get the castle ready before they’re all snowed in for the holidays.

Praise for Julie Caplin:

‘One unputdownable story’ Katie Fforde

‘An irresistible slice of escapism’ Phillipa Ashley

‘Five big fat stars’ Sue Moorcroft

Set against the backdrop of Europe's history-rich Scotland, this contemporary romantic comedy is a testament to Julie Caplin's ability to weave fiction at its best. Izzy's unexpected inheritance and her interactions with Ross, a top thriller author, make for a captivating read.

For fans of Ali Mcnamara (It Always Snows on Mistletoe Square), and Heidi Swain (That Festive Feeling).
