A Highland Homestead Christmas - Paperback

by Juliet McKinley (Author)

Mharie:

I've worked my whole life for this internship in Scotland, and I never planned on staying in Piper Falls forever. But Henry's homestead is mine now, and with it comes the weight of his legacy-and a step-uncle determined to steal it out from under me.

When the pressure builds and the town starts whispering, Patrick Williams-gruff, bossy, maddeningly charming-steps in with one hell of a lie: I'm his fiancée.

Now we're fake-engaged through Christmas, juggling holiday events, suspicious neighbors, and a Highland cow with a mischievous streak a mile wide. The town's falling for our story. The real problem? I might be falling too.

Patrick:

I came to Texas for a cow, not a fiancée.

But pretending to be Mharie's fiancé seemed like the simplest way to shut down her scummy uncle and buy her some time. Trouble is, the more I learn about this fiery woman and her stubborn little town, the less I want to leave.

She's got one foot out the door. I'm starting to wonder if I should hold it open...or find a way to make her stay.
