Highland Heart is the follow-up to Highland Fling, and it 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 guy 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 a 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 per cent professional, or are those photos that keep popping up in Katya's Instagram feed as innocent as he professes?
Village shenanigans, an eccentric cast of lovable characters and a relatable heroine, this feel-good story explores what happens in a relationship once the initial spark wears off.
The perfect book for fans of chick lit humour and laugh-out-loud romantic comedies along the lines of Jill Mansell, Sophie Kinsella and Jenny Colgan, Highland Heart is an engaging, fun-filled romp through Scottish small towns and rural life, finding love, making mistakes and admitting you were wrong.
Reviews of Highland Heart:
- "Loved the second instalment of this delightful Scottish drama. Highly recommend both books for an instant Highland getaway."
- "An excellent, heart-warming rom-com with all of the funniest characters from the first plus some great new ones. I loved seeing Lochalshie from Katya's point of view this time. Funny, sweet and romantic."
- "Great storytelling with characters I really warmed to. I so wanted Katya to be all loved up that I couldn't put it down until I found out who she'd chosen. And the banter between the villagers was classic."
Book number two in the Highland Books series.

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.
