A fake relationship on the Isle of Skye

Set in a tiny hometown on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, this romantic comedy brings together Alistair Macabe, a burned-out GP returning to practice, and Isla, the newly single mother living next door. Their arrangement serves two practical aims: Alistair hopes to rebuild his local popularity, while Isla wants to provoke her smug ex. The neighbors’ opposing temperaments and close quarters supply the setup for a fake-dating romance, with the possibility that their roles will become more than a performance. The story combines small-town proximity with a second-chance-to-belong premise and familiar romantic-comedy tensions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Romance readers who enjoy fake-dating setups and opposites-attract pairings.
  • Readers interested in a Scottish island setting and a single-mother heroine.
  • Those looking for a grumpy-doctor romantic comedy.

Book overview

Opposites attract in this steamy Scottish romance between a grumpy doctor and the single mother who lives next door, from the author of Whisky Business.

Burned-out GP Alistair Macabe never planned to return to his tiny hometown on the Isle of Skye. Especially not to live next door to Isla, a newly single mom with zero time for grumpy doctors.

But when Alistair needs a popularity boost in order to start taking on patients again, and Isla wants to ruffle her smug ex's feathers, a fake relationship seems like the perfect solution.

And with the pair taking their roles very seriously, they might just forget they are pretending after all ...
