About The Author

My Review

This is a warm, emotionally layered holiday romance that blends second chances, fake dating, and heartfelt family healing into a story that feels both festive and deeply human. When Melanie agrees to pose as her ex-boyfriend Finn’s girlfriend for Christmas in the Scottish Highlands, she does so with one condition: she gets to publicly break up with him at the end of the week. What begins as a chance to reclaim her dignity quickly turns into a tender, complicated reunion as old wounds resurface—and old feelings do too.

Mel is a fantastic heroine, outwardly confident yet inwardly overwhelmed, juggling professional burnout and unresolved heartbreak. Finn, meanwhile, is remorseful, steady, and quietly determined to make things right. Their chemistry ignites the moment they reunite, and the cozy, snow-dusted Highland setting only amplifies the romance.

One of the shining aspects of the novel is Finn’s family. Their individual insecurities and unspoken struggles create meaningful subplots that enrich the central romance. Watching them open up and support one another adds warmth, depth, and charm to the story.

Sweet, emotionally honest, and beautifully festive, this is a holiday love story worth savoring.
