She traveled to Scotland in search of herself, but found her heart’s true home in an Edinburgh pub-keeper’s arms. Burned out in grad school, Olivia Boyd jumps at the chance to spend a semester studying abroad in Edinburgh. There she discovers a city alive with music, history, and attractions—not to mention a brooding barkeep who ignites her interest. Max Cameron enjoys his life running The Red Rose pub, though his dreams of academia faded long ago. A bit world-weary but still warm-hearted, he finds his structured world upended by the arrival of a spirited American woman. As Olivia explores Edinburgh’s winding lanes and lively pubs, she begins to let her guard down with Max. But both carry scars from the past and must find the courage to open their hearts to new beginnings. Sometimes love blooms in the most unexpected places, but with Olivia’s semester abroad ending soon, she and Max face a choice. Immerse yourself in their journey through Scotland’s charms in this feel-good contemporary romance.
