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. Pick up your copy today for some light-hearted, escapist fun.

About the Author

"One day, my sweet, we shall buy all our weekly food from Waitrose, Marks and Spencer's and small, artisan producers," that's the promise writer Emma Baird regularly makes to her husband, the vow dependent on plenty of people being kind enough to buy her books and boost her income... There's always a plan B, though... In the meantime, she also copywrites and edits to make ends meet, saving her fiction scribbling for when she has the odd hour or so. She is the author of the Highland Books series, set in the fictional village of Lochalshie (loosely based on Arrochar on the west coast of Scotland), and she is working on a few novels at the moment (she loves writing and HATES rewriting and revising...) Her website is: https://emmabaird.com and she'd be delighted if you dropped by. if you'd do her the ginormous favour of signing up for her newsletter by emailing her at pinkglitterpubs@gmail.com, she'll send you a free short story. The newsletter features a lot of pics of cats and very little in the way of hard sells. Emma lives close to the Bonnie, Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond with her understanding husband and two VERY demanding cats.
