For almost six years, Nolan Jasper has been her broody neighbor. For almost six years, she’s been hopelessly infatuated with him—a feeling only deepened by the bond she’s built with his little girl. She would do just about anything for those two. 🏠
But being Nolan’s reliable doormat is getting old. He keeps pushing her away, incapable of accepting love no matter how patiently she offers it. Too broken. Too jaded. Too withdrawn to let anyone in. 💔
She’s finally ready to admit he’s a lost cause—and move on. If only he’d realized that before it was too late. ⏳

Thomas Musgrave returned to Derbyshire reluctantly, haunted by memories he’d rather leave buried. But every moment spent with Emily and Henry awakens something he hasn’t felt in years—the longing for a real family. The more time he gives them, the less he can imagine walking away. 🏰

Highland Hideaway
One viral video ends her career as a fashion influencer and leaves her stranded in the Scottish Highlands with no plan and very inappropriate footwear. She finds shelter at Lochview Sheep Farm—which is decidedly not a luxury spa, but comes with three rugged, unexpectedly attentive Scots. 🏴
There’s Cameron, the grumpy shepherd who calls her “princess” when her heels sink in the mud—right before he carries her inside. Fraser, the flirty rancher who promises to wear his kilt just for her. And Alec, the commanding farm manager whose barely concealed protectiveness emerges the moment a storm rolls in. 🌧️
They all assume she’s just a clueless city girl. But when they discover what she’s running from, the dynamic shifts entirely—and suddenly all three Scots are determined to keep her safe, warm, and thoroughly spoiled. 🔥
What makes this irresistible: Lily Gold delivers a why-choose Highland romance with heart, humor, and genuine heat—perfect for readers who want their grumpy-sunshine dynamic tripled and their heroines fiercely redeemed. 💛
