Book Description
In dark, wintry Lochdubh, Christmas Cheer is about as welcome as a flat tyre on a deserted road. The Calvinist element in town has always resisted what they view as secular frivolity, so for most of the townsfolk there'll be no carols, feasting, gifts - or even whisky on Christmas Day! And for PC Hamish Macbeth there's no holiday from crime - he finds himself hunting for a missing cat belonging to a lonely spinster. Curt and unfriendly, the woman is convinced her pet has been stolen but once behind her heavily-bolted door, Hamish can spot her true problem - she lives in fear, though of who or what he cannot guess. Then someone steals a Christmas tree and lights from the nearby village of Cnothan. So it is up to Hamish to sort all these problems out - and he had better do it quickly, for the church bells will soon peal on the eve of Christmas. This one-off standalone story is a special Christmas treat for all fans of Hamish Macbeth and can be read at any point in the ongoing series. Also features the first UK publication of a Hamish Macbeth short story, Knock, Knock, You're Dead! Praise for the Hamish Macbeth series: 'First rate ... deft social comedy and wonderfully realized atmosphere.' Booklist 'It's always a treat to return to Lochdubh.' New York Times 'Readers will enjoy the quirks and unique qualities of the cast ... Beaton catches the beauty of the area's natural geography and succinctly describes its distinct flavour.' Library Journal 'Befuddled, earnest and utterly endearing, Hamish makes his triumphs sweetly satisfying.' Publishers Weekly

Now the lanky lawman must use all his Highland charm and detective skills to make things right.

Book Description
Christmas--joy, happiness and family fun, right? As new parents and the co-owners of a village pub and hotel, Gaby and Jack are looking forward to some well-deserved time out come the end of December... Sure, being in the hospitality industry means working when everyone else is off, but once they've waved goodbye to the hotel's Christmas guests, it's all hands on deck for family festivities and a proper celebration to mark the end of a busy year. But Gaby's mum has other plans in mind--ones that set Gaby and brother Dylan on a collision course with her. Nanna Cooper's not in the best of health and Gaby's best friend Katya is coping with heartbreak once more. Just who is her baby's daddy? Her partner Dexter demands to know... Meanwhile, Jack's best friend Lachlan seems to be up to no good, meeting strangers late at night and handing over brown envelopes while the village's nosiest resident Mhari, as ever, is poking her nose in everywhere. And Caroline, the once super enthusiastic grandmother, seems to have lost her appetite for babysitting. Featuring misbehaving grandmothers, secretive brothers and a whole lot of laughs, Highland Christmas is a heart-warming tale of rural life in Scotland. The perfect book for fans of chick lit humour and laugh-out loud romantic comedies along the lines of Jill Mansell, Sophie Kinsella and Jenny Colgan, Highland Christmas is an engaging, heart-warming romp through Scottish small towns and rural life, finding love, making mistakes and uncovering secrets. Praise for Highland Christmas: "A great read which strikes just the right note to ease lockdown misery with all the right ingredients for a romantic story in a perfect setting."

But his stint in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces has opened up a whole new world—and now, rather than settle down, he accepts an invitation to travel to the States to take charge of the Highland Games. After all, he’s led men into battle, how hard can planning a party be? Anna Maitland is ready to step up for her best friend Isabel Blackmoor, who can’t run the Games in their hometown this year.

He’s so infuriatingly handsome that she can’t help but fantasize about him whispering sweet-nothings in her ear in his rumbly, sexy brogue. . . “Trentham never misses the mark when she takes aim at the heart.”—Night Owl Reviews

In bestselling author Vanessa Kelly’s irresistible Clan Kendrick series, Christmas in the Highlands means family, celebration—and for one brother, the beginning of a passionate adventure . . . Being thrown over by the man she expected to marry was humiliating enough. Now that Donella Haddon, grandniece of the Earl of Riddick, has also proven a failure as a nun, she has no choice but to return to her family’s estate. The brawny Highlander sent to escort her is brash, handsome, and the only thing standing between Donella and a gang of would-be kidnappers. But the scandal in her past can’t be so easily outrun . . . Wealthy widower Logan Kendrick was expecting to meet a plain, pious spinster—not a gorgeous, sharp-tongued lass who can hold her own in any ambush. Though she’s known as the Flower of Clan Graham, Donella is no shrinking violet. In fact, she might be the perfect woman to bring happiness back to his lonely little son’s life, just in time for Christmas. But first he must protect her from ugly gossip and a mysterious threat—and convince her that their wild, unexpected desire is heaven sent. Praise for The Highlander’s Princess Bride “A thoroughly satisfying Regency romance.” —Publishers Weekly
