  Jenny Porter, a 'virtual assistant', spends her life sorting out other people's problems. But when one of her clients asks her to go to Scotland to do a little hands-on investigation into a woollen mill he has a financial interest in, it doesn't turn out to be the working holiday she hoped for. For not only does her role at Dalmain House include rather a lot of unexpected tasks - of which the cooking is the least taxing - but she also finds herself finds herself charmed into helping run 'The Homely Haggis', a mobile burger bar. But it's when her abrasive customer, Ross Grant, turns out to be someone she can genuinely talk to, that she really gets confused. And when Jenny finds herself torn between loyalty to her client and letting down the people of Drumossie, her problem-stretching skills are stretched to the limit. It's a pity they don't seem able to stretch to sorting out her own, increasingly complicated personal life.

  A fine romance? This is a wonderfully romantic novel from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Recipe for Love, A French Affair and The Perfect Match. When 'Virtual Assistant' Jenny Porter's boyfriend accuses her of being impulsive, soft-hearted and unbusinesslike, dashing off to Scotland to sort out a failing mill for one of her clients may not be the best way of proving him wrong. And promising to help run a mobile burger bar before she's even found her feet doesn't help matters. When she finds herself determined to save the mill - whatever her client's wishes - it seems that Henry's accusations may have contained more than a grain of truth. So when Jenny's awkward encounters with the abrasive but disconcertingly attractive Ross Grant develop into something more complicated - just as Henry arrives in Scotland to reclaim her - it's time for Jenny to make some decisions. Should she do the sensible thing and follow Henry back to London? Or is her Highland adventure more than just a fling...?
