Hello lovelies!! I’m so excited to finally share the cover for SCOT AND BOTHERED with you!! This dual-timeline, second-chance romance set on the mystical Isle of Skye has my whole heart.
Monique Aimee designed this cover and I love the similarities to KILT TRIP. But also! Let’s talk about this baby hairy coo!! And Jack’s glasses! And the Scotland and Isle of Skye patches on his pack! The way Brooke and Jack are looking at each other! The thistles! The pink and purple background! I could clearly go on and on but I’ll restrain myself and just show you…
SCOT ON THE TRAIL!
Brooke Sinclair’s dream of being a published author derailed when she was expelled from the University of Edinburgh seven years ago. Now a ghostwriter, she sticks to other people’s stories. But when her college mentor, Mhairi McCallister, needs a cowriter for her memoir about Scotland’s most challenging trek, Brooke will do anything for the opportunity—including agreeing to hike the rugged Skye Trail for authenticity’s sake. What she doesn't know is that the nature photographer who’ll join her is Jack Sutherland, the teaching assistant who shattered Brooke’s writing career—and her heart.
Between falling for a student despite university rules and walking away from his family’s tour-guiding business to follow his photography dreams, Jack is desperate to prove he didn’t disappoint everyone for nothing. And he can’t ignore his aunt Mhairi’s final wishes for her memoir. Even if it means acting as guide and storyteller for the one who got away. Even if it means keeping secrets about Mhairi’s health.
As Jack and Brooke head into the solitude of the sweeping Scottish landscape, they’re forced to confront old feelings that haven’t disappeared with time. But can two weeks and eighty miles heal years of unspoken hurt and offer a second chance at the end of the trail?
