After her long-time boyfriend breaks up with her, Sloane Chatfield's well-meaning friends are so determined to put her back in the saddle that they're borderline obnoxious. When Sloane insists she's waiting for Jamie Fraser to come along, her friends surprise her with a trip to Scotland... to find her a new boyfriend. In order not to have her vacation ruined, Sloane is determined to pre-empt them. All she has to do is find the most remote part of the Highlands, get there first, find a Scot who will pretend to be her boyfriend, then break-up before they arrive. She figures no friend will try and match her up while she's nursing a second broken heart.
Galen Buchanan has his hands full trying to keep the family pub afloat in a remote Highland village. Everything is falling apart, he's running out of money, and now there's a buttoned-up American princess that has, for some reason, landed on his doorstep.... and takes his best table and hogs his wifi all day. She may be cute, but she's also full of free advice and doesn't like the way they do things in the Highlands. Then she proposes something completely outrageous—that he be her pretend boyfriend...and offers him enough money to save the pub. It's only for a few days, he figures. What's the worst that could happen?
