HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION! --- For all her life, Lady Evie Verrick had been regaled of tales of the Highlands from her Highland born and bred mother. She had grown up dreaming of chivalrous knights, sword-fighting, horse back riding. Tales of kin and family, loyalty and the warmth of a home. But being brought up in a traditional English household with a traditional father, her mother was the closest thing to the Highlands she could get. And when her mother died of pneumonia before her coming out, left to her father's care, Evie wants now, more then ever, to see the promised lands that she grew up with. --- Connor Gilroy had served as the first in command to the MacKenzie clan for as long as he could remember. He owed his loyalty to his best friend and brother in arms, Hammond MacKenzie, who had saved him from being skinned alive by English soldiers years ago, before the truce was signed between the two lands. Having no love lost for the country, Hammond would be the only person who could ever convince Connor to step foot back into English lands. His chief had recently received news on the death of the aunt he has never met, but Hammond was a man of his word, and he had promised his father he would care for all kin, regardless of who they were. But Connor never would've imagined that the cousin of his best friend would be a spirit of the flames. The way Evie took on life and all of its problems with a passion that ignited a hearth, would perhaps be the first time someone ever ignited more then just passion and desire within him.

[previously titled Sleeping with the Enemy] All that mattered to Evie McKenzie was getting through her final year at school; exams she could deal with, friends fighting she could tackle...hell, even the odd argument with her brother about why he shouldn't stick his fingers in the mains. But what she hadn't counted on was the arrival of the devilishly handsome Niall Gallagher and the chaos he would inevitably bring. As the two are flung together in the most surprising way, sparks fly. Even if they have done everything back to front. *I obviously don't own the cover image; all rights and credit go to the creator*

This story is being adapted from a television script I wrote. I'm a big "Sex and the City" fan, but I've always kind of wondered what the show would be like if they didn't have that perfect "best friend crew." I mean...how likely is it that we'll always have three best friends to discuss every problem and thought with? It kind of made me think of a more...awkward reality, leading me to a series where: friends enter different life stages and drift apart, your go-to gal is an elderly lady, and you're actively seeking new pals via meetup.com. And then there's the part where you're a writer haunted by your last big love, and constantly clinging to nostalgia (good luck to our main character on the dating scene!). I welcome you to join me on this awkward, relatable, and sometimes crazy adventure, which proves that finding love is never easy, and include lots of dialogue that will hopefully be quotable and fun! Each "episode" will consist of 4 or 5 Wattpad parts, and if people want to see more I'll write more. I'd love for this to be considered for a television series one day, so please vote and share the series if you enjoy it! DISCLAIMER: this series has a political incorrectness and edge that some may find it offensive, so read accordingly!
