Sparks will fly, even without firewood…

‘The perfect autumnal romance! Sweet, spicy, and full of cosy vibes’ CATHERINE WALSH
‘Witty and fun and full of heart’ LEONIE MACK
A cosy autumnal retreat in the Scottish Highlands is the perfect escape for city girl, Harper… Until she is stranded in the forest with nowhere to stay.
Fraser, a gruff local woodcutter, reluctantly offers her his lumberjack’s cabin on one condition – she mustn’t distract him from his duties.
But Fraser is finding his beautiful guest annoyingly hard to ignore. And the way he chops firewood – dogged, powerful and precise – is distracting Harper too. Soon, as the flame-red leaves fall overhead, Harper and Fraser are both forced to wonder: Am I falling faster?
This cute, spicy autumnal romance features a HEA ending with BookTok's hottest lumberjack love interest.
18+ content.
Tropes:
- grumpy x sunshine
