She came to tell his story. He'd rather she leave him out of it.

​

Award-winning journalist Alex Morgan has six months to uncover the disappearing traditions of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. But her first interview—with stubborn, sharp-tongued boatbuilder Finlay MacKenzie—is anything but welcoming.

 

Finlay has no patience for an ambitious outsider determined to turn

his life's work into a sentimental headline. And Alex has never met a man so infuriatingly difficult to interview.

​

Yet somewhere between heated disagreements, windswept beaches, and a close-knit island community determined to play matchmaker, irritation gives way to an attraction neither expected.

​

With Alex's dream career waiting in London and Finlay's beloved boatyard under threat, can two people who've mastered the art of keeping their distance find the courage to choose love?

​

A heartwarming, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance filled with Scottish charm, witty banter, second chances, and the unexpected joy of finding home.
