A Highland Homestead Christmas

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.
