Isolated with her bodyguard in the Scottish countryside
When bestselling author Rachel flees from a stalker to the Scottish Highlands, her father hires Max-a stoic ex-detective-as protection. As danger edges closer, so do Rachel and Max. Will their growing bond be enough to overcome his guarded heart or will fear keep them apart?
She's hiding from danger in the Scottish countryside. He's a bodyguard with a troubled past. Can love bring them together?
Rachel French never thought of herself as famous—until her best-selling book became a hit TV show. Now, troubling letters from an anonymous admirer have sent her seeking refuge in a remote Highland cottage. To keep her safe, her father hires Max Bernstein, a stoic ex-detective with his own demons.
At first, Max keeps his distance, focused solely on his job. But as Rachel explores the breathtaking Highlands, her warmth begins to melt Max's icy exterior. Even Max's loyal dog, Brandi, can't resist Rachel's charm.
As danger edges closer, so do Rachel and Max. Will their growing bond be enough to overcome his guarded heart, or will fear keep them apart?
Set against the stunning Scottish landscape, Love in the Highlands is a heartwarming tale of trust, courage, and unexpected romance.

About the Author
Poppy Pennington-Smith writes atmospheric contemporary romance novels with strong themes of friendship and family. If you love clean, adventurous, romantic stories with humour and happy endings, you will love Poppy's True Love Travels series - books where heroines jump out of their comfort zone and pursue what they really want - and the Heart of the Hills ranch series. Poppy has always been a romantic at heart. A sucker for a happy ending, she loves writing books that give you a warm, fuzzy feeling. When she's not running around after Mr. P and Mini P, Poppy can be found drinking coffee from a Frida Kahlo mug, cuddled up in a mustard yellow blanket, watching the garden from her writing shed. Poppy's dream-come-true is talking to readers who enjoy her books. So email, tweet, and message to let her know what you think of them.
