Via a dating app, Olivia Bingham (Liv to her friends) thinks she’s found the perfect man in Fraser Douglas. They share witty repartee, long online conversations, and a mutual love of Mariah Carey. But when he ghosts her, she decides to drive the six hours from England to track him down in person at the Highlands hotel where he works as a chef. But two events complicate her investigation: an epic snowstorm, and more worryingly, that Fraser has no idea what she’s talking about, as he’s never used the app.
Mistletoe Magic in the Highlands by Bella Osborne offers up everything a good Christmas romance should—stunning scenery, a gruff romantic interest, a colourful cast of supporting characters, Christmas traditions and snow, snow, snow.
Liv’s quest begins a few days before Christmas, but she is undeterred by either the calendar or the Scottish winter weather, which provides a number of funny situations in this romantic comedy. The colourful cast of supporting characters, including Robbie Williams (no, not that one), cousin Effie, grandma Dolly, and computer whizz Winnie. As a bonus, there’s also Ginger, a Highland cow with a penchant for classical music and Jock’O, the dog whose first love is socks.
Comedy aside, Osborne also tackles real problems created by the Internet, including catfishing, mistaken identity and ghosting.
This is a festive Christmas romance as comforting as a mug of mulled wine.

Mistletoe Magic in the Highlands Synopsis
Olivia Bingham is unlucky in love...
She's been ghosted more times than she can count, but this Christmas brings a glimmer of hope: Fraser Douglas,
a Scottish chef working at an idyllic hotel in the Highlands. He's sweet and sensitive, thoughtful and funny, not to
mention incredibly good looking – but there's a catch.
They've never actually met.
When Olivia tries to show her friends the hunky new man in her life, Fraser's online dating profile has vanished, and
Olivia fears the worst. Frustrated and wounded, she decides she's going to confront Fraser – face to face, in Scotland.
But when she arrives, things don't go exactly as planned. Worse still, Fraser doesn't seem to have any idea who she is...

About Bella Osborne
Bella Osborne has been jotting down stories as far back as she can remember but decided that 2013 would be the year that she finished a full length novel. In 2016, her debut novel, It Started At Sunset Cottage, was shortlisted for the Contemporary Romantic Novel of the Year and RNA Joan Hessayon New Writers Award. Bella's stories are about friendship, love and coping with what life throws at you. She likes to find the humour in the darker moments of life and weaves these into her stories. Bella believes that writing your own story really is the best fun ever, closely followed by talking, eating chocolate, drinking fizz and planning holidays. She lives in the Midlands, UK with her lovely husband and wonderful daughter, who thankfully, both accept her as she is (with mad morning hair and a penchant for skipping).
