Working for Weston Kincaid should come with hazard pay—and maybe a therapist on retainer.
The man is a corporate glacier in a designer suit—arrogant, ice cold, and allergic to anything resembling a work-life balance. As his assistant, I basically run his empire, his schedule, and his caffeine supply. Holidays included.
Then his grandfather’s will drops a nuclear-level twist: Weston must get married ASAP to inherit a jaw-dropping Scottish estate straight out of a Highland fairy tale. Who does he choose?
Me.
Qualifications: female, breathing, knows his coffee order. Romance isn’t just dead—Weston buried it six feet under and salted the earth.
I quit. Then flee to a café to rage-call my bestie—only to discover (too late) that Weston’s psycho ex is in the booth behind me, listening like she bought tickets.
Within hours, every woman who might’ve considered him refuses to touch him—even for a castle. Oops. My bad.
Cornered, Weston offers me a deal: so much money my bank app would crash, a chance to chase my dream, and (best of all) time away from the biggest bosshole on Earth. All I have to do is live in the Highlands as his wife for a couple months.
And I don’t know whether it’s exhaustion or insanity, but I say yes.
Naturally, the universe has jokes, because somewhere between the airport and the castle, my brain decided to develop a crush on Satan in a suit.
About The Author
My Review
This book is about a grumpy/sunshine marriage of convenience romance set in the Scottish Highlands, where fake vows slowly turn into real emotions amid humor, healing, and hidden truths.
The Grump I Married follows Lena, a sharp and overworked personal assistant who finally quits her job after her billionaire boss, Weston, shockingly suggests she marry him. Weston needs a wife to fulfill the terms of his grandfather’s will and secure the Scottish estate he loves, leading the pair into a practical arrangement that quickly becomes far more complicated than expected.
What begins as a business-like agreement soon shifts when they travel to Scotland to settle family affairs, attend a heartfelt community festival, and confront the emotional weight of Weston’s inheritance. Surrounded by close friends, small-town charm, and plenty of banter, Lena and Weston discover that their chemistry is impossible to ignore.
Leslie North balances lighthearted romcom energy with deeper emotional layers as both characters face personal wounds from their pasts. Their growth feels natural, and the supporting cast adds warmth and humor throughout. As secrets surface and feelings deepen, the story asks whether love can grow from convenience—or if some lines were never meant to be crossed at all.
