Ambitious fashionista Perry Goodwood lands the project of his dreams—track down a celebrity family’s missing brother in the Scottish Highlands and bring him back to London for a TV reality show. But first he must transform the rugged loner into a glamorous sophisticate. Greg Ventura has no use for high fashion. He lives on the isolated island of North Uist to escape the reminder that he’s nowhere near as handsome as his gorgeous brothers and avoid the painful childhood memories of being bullied. Greg wants nothing to do with city life, and Perry’s never been outside London. When Perry is stranded on North Uist, this conflict seems insurmountable. But Greg is captivated by the vivacious Perry, and Perry by both the island and his host. However, Perry’s one heartfelt wish remains: that ugly duckling Greg fulfill his potential as a swan. This story offers you a grumpy recluse, a lively yet determined fish out of water, a remote and wildly beautiful Scottish location, opposites attract, straight-talking friends, an impossibly glossy celebrity family, and a loyal and mischievous dog! Author Note: this is the same book as previously published by Dreamspinner Press, but with a new cover, and now published by the author. less
