Scot and Bothered

What you need to know before your trail

Brooke Sinclair’s dream of being a published author derailed when she was expelled from the University of Edinburgh seven years ago. Now a ghost writer, she sticks to other people’s stories. But when her college mentor Mhairi McCallister needs a co-writer for her memoir about Scotland’s most challenging trek, Brooke would do anything for the opportunity – including agreeing to hike the rugged Skye Trail for authenticity’s sake. What she doesn’t know is that the nature photographer who’ll join her is Jack Sutherland, the man who shattered Brooke’s writing career – and her heart.

Between getting sacked from the university and walking away from his family’s tour-guiding business to follow his photography dreams, Jack is desperate to prove he didn’t disappoint his family for nothing. Even if it means acting as guide and storyteller for the one who got away.

As Jack and Brooke head into the solitude of the sweeping Scottish landscape, they’re forced to confront old feelings. But can two weeks and eighty miles heal years of unspoken hurt and offer a second chance at love?
