She hates Christmas. He hates Christmas more. The Scottish Highlands had other plans…
Yasmine Saidi has worked too hard to let her hotel fail, especially one as magnificent as the Silver Thistle Manor, tucked deep in the Scottish Highlands. The manor is crumbling, hemorrhaging money, and her only shot at saving it is a Christmas competition she never should have entered.
Problem one: Yasmine hates Christmas. Like, really hates it.
Problem two: the competition requires a partner, and the only person willing is Callum MacLeod, the grumpy local whisky distiller who has strong opinions about social niceties, personal grooming, and minding his own business.
Who cares if he also has the body of a Norse god (if Norse gods wore kilts)? Certainly not Yasmine.
They have nothing in common except mutual disdain and, it turns out, equally good reasons to despise the holiday season. But the jobs of the people she's come to love are on the line, and Yasmine didn't get her reputation as a workaholic ice queen by giving up easily.
So Yasmine and Callum will deck the halls. They'll sing carols until their voices give out. They'll dodge the mistletoe that keeps appearing in suspicious locations. And they will absolutely, categorically not fall for each other.
Probably.
From Scotland, with Shortbread is an enemies-to-lovers romcom set in the Scottish Highlands that’s full of sharp banter, festive chaos, and two people who are very bad at Christmas and possibly even worse at staying indifferent.
