The Story

What happens when a spoiled Instagram princess meets a grumpy Highland laird?

Influencer Emma’s online career has just gone up in flames. On her manager’s advice, she accepts an invitation to a manor house in the Scottish Highlands. There’s just one problem: the owner has no idea she’s coming.

Ian is fighting tooth and nail to save his family’s crumbling estate. The last thing he needs is a social media princess with a selfie stick. But his nine-year-old niece Molly is Emma’s biggest fan, and she has plans of her own.

Between Highland walks, the meddling Book Club Ladies and a legendary mistletoe that has waited centuries for true lovers to kiss beneath it, Emma and Ian grow closer. Until Emma’s past catches up with her.

Will she go back to a world of filters and appearances, or will she finally follow her heart?

A funny, heartwarming Christmas romance full of Highland charm and romantic mix-ups, and a reminder that sometimes true love just needs a little nudge under the mistletoe.
