Enemies with the Highlander

By Skye MacDonald

A crumbling Highland hotel. A guarded billionaire boss. A storm that leaves no escape.

Evelyn Ross is fighting to keep everything from falling apart. As a single mum, she's holding together the ageing Lochside Manor in Glencoe while trying to give her young son the one thing she never had - stability.

Then the new owner arrives.

Liam MacTavish, the long-lost MacTavish brother, returns to the Scottish Highlands with ice in his veins and secrets he has no intention of sharing. He's here to renovate the hotel, fix the finances and avoid emotional entanglements at all costs. Feelings are a liability. Family is a weakness.

Evelyn isn't impressed by his brooding silence or sharp suits - and her refusal to back down drives Liam to distraction. When a violent spring storm cuts Glencoe off from the outside world and traps them together inside the darkened hotel, their simmering tension explodes into something neither of them can ignore.

By candlelight and through long nights of hard work, Liam's hard edges begin to crack. The cold, controlled businessman becomes the man who protects Evelyn's son and makes her heart race. But Liam is convinced he's poison to any family he touches.

Can Evelyn show a broken hero that real strength means staying?

Perfect for readers who love grumpy boss romance, single mum romance, forced proximity, small-town Scottish settings, found family and deeply emotional healing, this heart-warming Highland romance is packed with slow-burn tension, second chances and a swoon-worthy protective hero.
