Opposites attract when a fish-out-of-water actress and a grumpy Scottish whisky distiller are forced to work together to save the business they both love. As a child, April Sinclair dreamt of escaping her quiet island life to become a world-famous actress. Now fully grown and with her once-flourishing career at an all-time low, what better way to figure out where it all went wrong than to go back to the beginning? April has her sights set on a new challenge, and that is saving her family’s distillery on the idyllic Scottish Isle of Skye. What she doesn’t expect to find is Malcolm Macabe, short-tempered and exceedingly attractive, living in the home she has just inherited. He may be a million miles away from the shy teenager she knew growing up, but one thing is for certain: he doesn’t want her around anymore. Master distiller Mal has three loves in his life: Whisky, his dog and silence. He has no time for the pampered princess poking her nose around his distillery, even if said princess is the one who got away. More comfortable in the shadows than the spotlight, Mal is content to wait her out. She’ll grow bored and run back to her glamorous world of nail salons and take-away coffee eventually. When sparks begin to fly, he tells himself it doesn’t matter…because April Sinclair could never want a man like him, right?

Roselyn hates Paris. She hates Julien Bonnet so much more. Lookout world, Roselyn White is getting her life together. The plan is simple: run away to Paris; finish her novel before she’s dropped by her publisher; spend some much needed girl time with her best friend. It doesn’t matter that she hates Paris; the scene of her first and most painful heartbreak. At least it didn’t until said heartbreaker starts coming around, bringing her flowers and— apologising? Julien makes one thing very clear, he wants another chance. But Rosie isn’t a teenager anymore, she’s a grown woman with a failed marriage under her belt. She knows better than to fall for pretty words from an even prettier face. Then after only a few encounters with Julien, she starts to feel inspired. What if the one man she was never able to forget turned out to be her muse? Julien Bonnet is not a man who makes the same mistake twice. He remembers the exact moment he lost it all, and he’s spent ten years hating himself for it. Does he want to make amends? Of course. But another chance with her heart? Absolutely. And this time he wants forever.
