A blizzard in the Scottish Highlands and a mission I refuse to abandon. Nothing was supposed to stand in my way—not snow, not cliffs, and definitely not a rugged, blue-eyed Scotsman named Banner Kellison. But when my car skids off a mountain road, Banner becomes my unlikely savior, pulling me from the snow and into his remote cabin. Stuck together, waiting for the storm to pass, I realize Banner is as untamed as the Highlands themselves. He’s nothing like the polished men back in Miami, and maybe that’s exactly what I need… if I’m brave enough to see where one night, snowbound with him, could lead.
Years ago I lost ‘the man I loved because I was a fool.’ Except he showed up when I was lost in Mardi Gras again. He was now rich, powerful and clearly never ever going to notice me . I’d rejected him before. Even if his nearness still sends a thrill through me. I should move on from wishing, but then he kissed me. I wasn’t worth him. I took a few minutes of happiness, but I knew we’d never last But it turns out I’m running out of reasons to reject him. ♥ I need him. ✓He’s going to want more than I can offer. He’s a trillionaire and I’m lost little rich girl. ★Yet his kisses make me wish I had more stamina to be with him forever. What happens when the party ends? I can’t think beyond the parade. I never expected a second chance at love, except, you’d never have expected what happened because I absolutely hadn’t.
A Bodyguard Hero Passionate Enough to Risk It All for Love? The Secrets of the Past Lay Hidden in the Highlands: Jacob Ross is a U.S. Secret Service agent on a mission for truth: how was his police officer father killed in Scotland years ago while rescuing the kidnapped niece and nephew of John Sage, billionaire CEO of the Sage Family empire? Isabel Sage is the Sage Family heiress who needs a driver to escort her from New York City to her cousin’s wedding in Vermont. Though Isabel is smart, hardworking—and above all—loyal to her clan, she’s drawn to the gruff protector who’s been assigned to her, not knowing he’s been less than honest with his agenda. But love has a way of blossoming where it’s least expected. Now they each have a dilemma. Should Jacob tell Isabel what he’s really after? And for Isabel, is love enough to overcome family duty? “Oh my GOSH, I loved this book. Jacob and Isabel were both so well written and completely compelling. There is a level of intrigue here that feels like real life, as well as an evolving intimacy which was earned. By the time the sex happens, I totally believed they would have that effect upon each other - this wasn't physical for these two characters, it was a total experience.” —Kristen, Beverages and Books reviews “It ticks all the boxes for me. A contemporary Scotland romance, a hero protector, an ambitious heroine, continuity, and a plot that kept me guessing how they'll end up together. It was a page turner for me. I'm looking forward to the next in the series. I really liked the first in the series, The Sweetest Hours, but this one I really love.” —Christy, Goodreads reader Scotland for Christmas is book #2 in the Sage Family of Scotland series: Book #1: The Sweetest Hours Book #2: Scotland for Christmas Book #3: Secret Garden All books in the trilogy may be read as standalone romances.

The advent of the home computer has made Christmas round robin letters ubiquitous. Where once the hot news about Tamsin's A levels would be sent in a short note, now it's not unusual to get a letter that includes several pages of misery--emergency operations, dead relatives, sackings, rainy holidays, and so forth--decorated with jolly snowmen and smiling Santas. Some people go further and send out whole booklets. Computers have also made it possible to include photographs of the family eating paté in their Provencal garden, or sitting in a hot tub in California. Simon Hoggart gets hundreds of round robin letters sent to him every year and has collected the funniest, most irritating, most surreal extracts into this hilarious short book. Along the way he considers why people hate these letters so much and what they tell us about the British middle classes. What, exactly, lies behind the impulse to write about Roger's decision to cycle to work for health reasons, or Jeremy's trip to Tasmania, or the replacement pet rabbit?
