"Can stepping out of your comfort zone lead to unexpected happiness?
Trudy Watts has it all: a dream job, a successful fiancé, and a glamorous London lifestyle. With a big promotion on the horizon and her wedding just weeks away, her perfect life feels unstoppable... until everything comes crashing down.
Banished to the remote Scottish town of Turriff to manage a struggling bank branch, Trudy is completely out of her depth. The Wi-Fi is terrible, the locals are far too nosy, and her big-city confidence just doesn’t seem to fit. To top it off, there’s Ethan, the annoyingly charming pub landlord who seems to enjoy ruffling her feathers.
But as Trudy adjusts to the slower pace of small-town life, she starts to wonder: could the path to true happiness look nothing like the one she’d planned?
Filled with humour, heart, and Scottish charm, this feel-good rom-com is perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Lynn Painter.

"Sam Preston appears to be living the glamorous life of a journalist at the San Francisco Chronicle. If only that was the case...
In reality, she's frustratingly single, stuck living in her parents' house, and, oh yeah, in love with her boss, Dave, who barely knows that she exists.
Life seems like it will never change - until the day Sam is put on an assignment with Dave, reporting on the San Francisco Fashion Week. She hopes this might be a turning point in their relationship.
But things never go to plan and when Sam becomes an accidental contestant in the Beautiful Curvy pageant, practically overnight, life suddenly becomes very complicated.
How will she manage her new rise to stardom, her job, and her sudden irresistibility to not only Dave but a new man on the scene?
A funny, feel-good romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Mhairi MacFarlane, Tilly Tennant and Kiley Dunbar.
