The follow-up to Highland Fling, Highland Heart follows the story of Katya and Dexter-lovers who met at a magical village in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, but who begin to drift apart.
She wants him; he wants her but there are thousands of miles between them.
Meanwhile, there's a new dude in town. Zac is fun, flirtatious and determined to seduce Katya. The trouble is, can she resist? Especially as Dexter seems to be throwing himself into his work as marketing manager for a big reality TV star and her brand-new make-up company on a mission to take over the world.
And what about his relationship with Caitlin, the reality TV star he works for? Is it one hundred percent professional or are those photos that keep popping up in her Instagram feed as innocent as he professes?
Village shenanigans, an eccentric cast of lovable characters and a catch up with Gaby and Jack of Highland Fling, Highland Heart explores what happens once the initial spark wears off.All Rights Reserved

Where the Stars Fall by AnaSimons

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way. Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye. Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his. Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home. This edition has been fully revised with added and edited content.

If Only by dragonslayer2493

A story where people happen upon a friendship that can flourish into a budding romance if only.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He smiled that sickly innocent and genuine smile again. He was about to say something but I cut him off. "And if you so much as make my friend cry, I'll give you a black eye myself. Don't even think about breaking her heart... you will be a dead man." With that I got up. A dramatic exit was in order to show him just how serious I was. But hey! It's me. I don't get what I wish for and I ended up tripping on the carpet end, just as I was about to get to the door. So much for that. And just like the last time I fell, my face didn't get to keep its appointment with the floor. His arm was wrapped around my stomach and he pulled me hard against his chest. So hard that I managed to hit him and we ended up falling on the sofa together. Now isn't that a nice and compromising position you got yourself in? This can't get any worse. I tried getting up but I just ended up turning into him and found my face inches from his. He looked at me. He looked good and my hormones decided it was time to end a dry spell and started dancing about inside me. Wrong timing muthafvckers. Of course they didn't listen. I found myself wanting to kiss him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sia Williams never expected anything out of the ordinary from life. A student with her gang just living life as it comes without any drama. But all of that changes when she meets Lorenzo Carter and Skye Addison. The new additions to her life bring drama, adventure and romance... and the best part of all, they make her boring love life not so boring anymore. But not all romances end how you expect them to.

Highland Fling - A Funny Chick Lit Romance (COMPLETE) by SavvyDunn

*EDITORS PICK* "This book has been so amazing I found myself daydreaming about it💖💖 totally worth my time 😃" "This story has had me laughing, screaming, and squealing with excitement. Dexter definitely gives me "dude really?" vibes and I'm so grateful the ending wasn't dragged out. Gaby is painfully relatable and I love her dearly and here I am wishing I had a friend like katya. I don't think I could give this story any more love!!! 💛💛💛💛💛" If you like this book, you can buy it: https://bookgoodies.com/a/B07RD1HRR5 A boy, a girl, a dating guru-what can possibly go wrong?! Gaby's recently split from her boyfriend of ten years and needs to escape fast. Where better than the Highlands of Scotland where she can lick her wounds and recover in peace and quiet? Fate has different ideas in mind. First, there's the rough and ready Jack McAllan who bears more than a passing resemblance to Gaby's favourite fictional Scottish hero. He's an important part of the local community, even if he's failed to impress Gaby so far. Who knew a guy could be so rude and taciturn? Then, there's the mystery of the woman whose home she now inhabits. Kirsty's left too many tantalising clues for Gaby to resist, not least her not-so-secret identity and YouTube fame. But why did Kirsty run, and does it have anything to do with the red-haired Scot who keeps turning up in Gaby's daydreams much as she tries to resist... Featuring kilts, mist-cloaked hills, lochs where the water runs deep, spoilt cats and a little too much whisky, Highland Fling is a sweet, fun-filled romp through Scottish small towns and rural life, finding love, making a fool of yourself and discovering that an overactive imagination leads you into all kinds of trouble... The perfect book for fans of chick lit humour, laugh-out loud romantic comedies along the lines of Jill Mansell, Sophie Kinsella and Jenny Colgan.

Turn of the Tide | ONC 2023 by Oxviola

[ONC 2023 Shortlister] ['23 RGAs Overall Winner] When the storm comes, who will you choose to ride it out with? In the sleepy coastal village of Porthdruro, the most excitement literature student Sally Tremaine experiences is the coming and going of the tide. So, when she runs into carefree photographer Flick Scott on a routine errand, the waves the girl makes in her life are beyond anything she's seen before. Flick is confident, passionate, and just plain fun - in short, she's everything Sally had never expected to find in her small world. Things aren't all fun and games, though. The rest of the village wants nothing to do with the boisterous traveller, and Sally senses there's something lurking beneath Flick's impulsive character, something she doesn't want Sally to see. And when another stranger follows hot on Flick's heels, Sally faces a choice between staying true to the place she calls home and protecting the girl that could take her beyond the horizon. As the storm draws ever closer, the questions rumbling in Sally's mind grow louder. What brought someone so full of life to a place like Porthdruro? Why is she so possessive of a simple camera? And will the toll of trusting Flick Scott be more than Sally can take? *** Written for #ONC2023. 50. "An attractive, mysterious stranger moves to your small town. While everyone is desperate to make an impression, only you notice something a bit odd about them." 51. "The problem with red flags is that I'm attracted to them." Stunning cover by the equally stunning @MiniMoxx. Adorable chapter-end graphic by the equally adorable @Metalcanine.
