Scotch on the Rocks: A Contemporary Romance Set in the Highlands of Scotland by Lizzie Lamb

SCOTCH ON THE ROCKS Where men are men and the women are glad of it ISHABEL STUART is at the crossroads of her life. Her wealthy industrialist father has died unexpectedly, leaving her a half-share in a ruined whisky distillery and the task of scattering his ashes on a Munro. After discovering her fiance playing away from home, she cancels their lavish wedding arranged for Christmas at St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh and heads for the only place she feels safe - Eilean na Sgairbh, a windswept island on Scotland's west coast. Where the cormorants outnumber the inhabitants, ten to one. When she arrives at her family home - a bed and breakfast managed by her firebrand Aunt Esme, she finds a guest in situ - BRODIE. Issy longs for peace and the chance to lick her wounds, but gorgeous Brodie, turns all that on its head - and her world along with it. In spite of her vow to steer clear of men, she grows to rely on Brodie. However, she suspects him of having an ulterior motive for staying at her aunt's B&B on remote Cormorant Island. Having been let down by the men in her life, will it be third time lucky for Issy? Is she wise to trust a man she knows nothing about - a man who presents her with more questions than answers? As for Aunt Esme, she has secrets of her own . . .

Lizzie felt it was time to leave the chalk face and pursue her first love: writing, after working as a deputy head teacher in a big primary school. She enrolled in the Romantic Novelists' Association's New Writers' Plan, improved her skills, and published Tall, Dark, and Kilted in 2012, followed by Boot Camp Bride a year later. Lizzie like the fast-paced banter between the hero and heroine in old black-and-white Hollywood films, and she hopes that this passion for speech shows through in her work. Despite spending much of her time promoting Tall, Dark, and Kilted and Boot Camp Bride, she has published a third novel, SCOTCH ON THE ROCKS, and is working on a fourth. Lizzie is a founding member of New Romantics Publishing, an indie publishing collective.

They held an Author Event at Waterstones High Street, Kensington, London in November 2014, which they consider to be the icing on the cake - and a suitable way to commemorate their successes. Lizzie's years as a teacher haven't gone to waste, as she's developing a reputation as a self-publishing speaker. She hopes you love Scotch on the Rocks and will go on to read her other books as well.
