What it feels like
Reading this book feels like wrapping yourself in a warm tartan blanket while enjoying a bawdy comedy. It is a brisk, spirited romp through the Scottish Highlands that leans heavily into the delightful absurdity of the girl-disguised-as-a-boy trope. The narrative balances lighthearted physical comedy with genuinely steamy forced-proximity tension, creating an atmosphere that is both adventurous and deeply cozy. The prose is accessible and dialogue-driven, keeping the pages turning as the characters bicker and bond on the road. It is the perfect escape for readers who love their historical romances laced with humor, protective but easily flustered heroes, and capable heroines who can hold their own in a fight before melting into a passionate embrace.

About the book
Highlander Campbell Sinclair is no stranger to battle, so when he sees a lad attacked by bandits, he jumps into the fray. He didn't count on being stabbed. Grateful to the boy for nursing him back to health, Cam offers to accompany Jo safely to his destination. But when he accidentally comes across the lad bathing in the river, Cam discovers that Jo is actually Joan...with the most sinful of curves.
Joan promised her mother that she would deliver a scroll to the clan MacKay. But traveling alone is dangerous, even disguised as a boy. When a Scottish warrior lends his aid, she is more than relieved...until he surprises her with lingering kisses and caresses that prove her disguise hasn't fooled him. As their passion ignites, will the secrets of the scroll force a wedding...and lead to a love she's never known?
