Synopsis for Love, Academically
FALLING IN LOVE WASN’T ON THE CURRICULUM
Lila Cartwright is thriving after dumping her toxic ex – well, mostly. That is, until she bumps into him and his new girlfriend, forcing her to grab the nearest man and introduce him as her boyfriend. Unfortunately, that man is her infuriatingly moody (yet undeniably attractive) colleague, Rhys Aubrey.
Rhys isn’t Lila’s biggest fan either, but when he needs to convince his family that he’s excelling in both work and love, striking a deal with her suddenly makes sense.
As their fake relationship unfolds, the lines between pretence and reality blur. Can they keep up the act, or is there something real beneath the rivalry?
****
Synopsis for Surprises on the Scottish Isle
When newly divorced Tara McTaigh spots an advert for a studio to let in Coorie Castle's craft centre, she packs up her Edinburgh life and moves to the Isle of Skye, eager for a fresh start.
Little does she know that the castle's estate manager, single dad Calan Fraser, is the man who broke her heart back at university.
Thoroughly done with romance, Tara decides to ignore Cal and focus on building her business creating dollhouses to commission. But Duncoorie is a small community, and the two keep bumping into each other
Just as she is starting to open her heart once more to Cal, a change in his life puts everything on the line. When a surprise storm threatens Tara's safety, will Cal realise in time that love is worth the risk?
