A fiery amateur chef. A skilled swordsmith. And a spark that changes everything. With her corporate career on the rocks and her dreams of an L.A. townhouse dashed, Andrea Accardi jets off to Scotland to regroup with her best friend. Maybe Scotland is just what she needs to reset her career and her life. While immersing herself in the beautiful country, she finds a lifeline in the kitchen—cooking—her favorite hobby. The kitchen has always been her happy place, but who would’ve guessed she’d end up creating homemade meals for Scottish TV stars and silent, smoldering swordsmith, Rory Cameron, whose gray eyes draw her in like liquid smoke? Too bad she’s only looking for a fling. Slow to trust, Rory keeps women at arms-length. His scheming ex stole his hand-crafted swords and left a craig in his heart. But something about the vivacious American stirs his blood. Now that his sword business has achieved success, he’s looking for the final element to complete his life: a lass. But och , he’s a wee bit rusty around women. He approaches love like swordsmithing: slow and methodical. He’ll take all the time he needs to wear Andrea down. From fiery spats in the kitchen to a freezing Highland rescue, the opposites grow closer. When L.A. calls, will Andrea answer? Or will she trade the predictable life she once knew for an uncertain future and a man who loves her?
