A chance encounter ignites an unforgettable romance.
Olivia Boyd, a spirited grad student yearning for adventure, leaps at the opportunity to study abroad in Scotland’s historic capital. Enchanted by the city’s vibrant music scene and rich heritage, she finds herself drawn to The Red Rose—a centuries-old pub brimming with charm.
Behind the bar stands Max Cameron, a brooding and handsome Scotsman who sacrificed his academic dreams to uphold his family’s legacy. His orderly life takes an unexpected turn when the intriguing American walks through his door, stirring feelings he thought he’d set aside.
As Olivia and Max explore Edinburgh’s hidden gems and lose themselves in each other’s company, their hearts intertwine in ways neither anticipated. But with her semester abroad ending soon, they face the bittersweet reality of parting ways.
Will they find a way to bridge the distance, or is this just a fleeting chapter in their lives?
Step into The Red Rose, have a seat by the fire, and let the romance sweep you away.
PRAISE FOR THE RED ROSE
The Red Rose has a little something to do with Scottish folk songs, so I’ve made a writing playlist. I make one for every book I write, but since this is directly related to the story, I thought I’d share. For all you ethnomusicologists out there, yes, I know I’ve mixed in some Irish music, but, there’s a lot of overlap between the two. So if I like it, I included it. If you like what you hear, support the artists by buying their music.
