This wildly romantic novel from the author of Apricot Kisses proves that the recipe for love sometimes needs just a dash of the unexpected--and the magic of the Scottish Highlands. Josefine Sonnenthal has it all under control. A successful lawyer with a sensible fianc� and big plans for marriage and children, she is sure that everything in her life is going according to plan. But without a very important family ring--one that may possess mystical powers to doom or bless Josefine's impending marriage--there will be no wedding. And that's why she finds herself on a plane heading to Scotland with her two eccentric great aunts, desperately searching for a wayward cousin who holds the coveted heirloom. When Josefine finds herself in one near-disaster after another along the Highlands countryside, she repeatedly crosses paths with the handsome but notoriously moody confectioner, Aidan Murray. Enchanted by her lush new surroundings, she tries to resist his rugged charm, but soon she begins to question everthing. Does having a plan really mean having it all together? Or could this unexpected love be the best plan yet?

Kissed by the Rain

Hanna has a foodie's dream job: as a culinary journalist, she gets to travel across Europe to write up the Continent's finest restaurants. But after penning a scathing review of a restaurant nestled in a Tuscan apricot grove, her boss informs her of a big problem: when the restaurant's owner read the article, she keeled over dead from a heart attack. Now the owner's grandson, Fabrizio, has filed a lawsuit against the magazine, and if Hanna can't convince him to drop the case, she'll lose her job. Determined to keep her career off the chopping block, Hanna returns to the restaurant to apologize. But upon her arrival, she finds that the little old lady's death has created more than just the usual grief, since Granny's will stipulates that Fabrizio will inherit the restaurant if--and only if--he's married. With time running out for them both, the young man offers a crazy deal: he'll drop the lawsuit if Hanna agrees to be his bride. As things heat up in and out of the kitchen, the two wonder: Could Granny's scheme turn out to be a recipe for romance?
