'Witty and fun and full of heart' LEONIE MACK

A cosy autumnal retreat in the Scottish Highlands is the perfect escape for city girl, Harper... Until she is stranded in the forest with nowhere to stay.

Fraser, a gruff local woodcutter, reluctantly offers her his lumberjack's cabin on one condition - she mustn't distract him from his duties.

But Fraser is finding his beautiful guest annoyingly hard to ignore. And the way he chops firewood - dogged, powerful and precise - is distracting Harper too. Soon, as the flame-red leaves fall overhead, Harper and Fraser are both forced to wonder: Am I falling faster?

This cute, spicy autumnal romance features a HEA ending with BookTok's hottest lumberjack love interest.
