The latest enchanting instalment in the beloved Highland Romance series. From the rolling hills of Highland Fling to the celebrations of Highland Heart and Highland Wedding, return to the mist-covered peaks for a brand-new tale of love, lies and laughter.
Mhari Colquhoun is an expert at playing it safe. Living in the quiet Scottish village of Lochalshie, she's survived a precarious job and a looming rent hike by keeping her head down and her heart guarded. But when her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Lachlan Forrester, drops to one knee, her world doesn't just tilt, it shatters.
It isn't a proposal. It's a transaction.
Lachlan needs to win a £100,000 bet against his sister, and Mhari needs a financial lifeline. The plan is simple: one fake engagement, no drama, and a clean break once the money is in the bank.
But Lochalshie has other ideas.
In a village where everyone knows your business before you do, news of the "happy couple" spreads like wildfire. Suddenly, Mhari and Lachlan are swept up in a whirlwind of overbearing wedding planners, chaotic traditional ceilidhs, and a disastrous "Mr & Mrs" quiz that exposes just how little they actually know about one another.
As the lie grows, so does the tension. Between hidden threats from Lachlan's past and a secret plan to flee to the other side of the world, Mhari must decide if she's playing for the money or for keeps.
In the game of love, the biggest risk isn't losing the bet. It's winning the wedding you never intended to have.
