A New Hope in the Highlands: Book 1 of the Haddon House Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068470318)

One castle. One hot laird. One chance to start over.

But only if they can survive each other first.

Scarlett Hope thought she had life figured out - a solid marriage, a familiar routine, and the kind of comfort that didn't ask too many questions. But when her husband gets their twenty-something tenant pregnant just in time for her 35th birthday, Scarlett does what any self-respecting woman would: grabs her dignity and drives north. Destination? The Scottish Highlands, where her estranged mother is now gardener at the once-grand, now-fading Haddon House.

Edward Cameron-Reid has spent years keeping Haddon from falling apart - emotionally, financially, and structurally. Brooding, private, and burnt by love, he's not exactly thrilled when Scarlett turns up to live on the estate. Especially when she's fiery, funny, and far too good at getting under his skin.

Their spark? Immediate. Their feelings? Complicated.

As Haddon prepares to host a high-society wedding tied to Edward's own tangled family history, long-buried secrets begin to stir - and Scarlett and Edward are drawn into a connection neither expected. It's untimely, electric - and possibly exactly what they both need.

A New Hope in the Highlands is a grumpy-meets-sunshine, forced-proximity romance full of sharp banter, sizzling chemistry, and heartfelt emotional payoff - perfect for fans of Evie Alexander, Bella James, and Elliot Fletcher.
