I'm on my knees with my head under his kilt, his fist gripping my hair as the Highland winds rattle the castle walls. He tastes like whisky and regret -- but it's a mistake I'll gladly make over and over again.

Alistair MacRae is 6'3" of stoic restraint, with an unforgiving jawline, piercing blue eyes, and the body of a man who still cuts down his own trees. A brooding Scottish billionaire with a castle full of stories and a past that still haunts him. His heart is as frozen as the loch in winter, and he seems determined to keep it that way.

I came to the Scottish Highlands for work -- and for an escape -- but we clash from the moment I arrive. Every interaction between us ignites a spark we both pretend not to feel.

Yet the more I uncover about the past of this place, the more I begin to question my own future -- and I discover more than I ever bargained for.

When a snowstorm descends upon the Highlands, the castle grounds plunge into darkness. Our simmering tension turns to heat, and one reckless night lights a fire that changes everything.

Now the Christmas bells echo through the halls, counting down my final days before I return to my life in New York.

But walking away is harder than I ever imagined, because this Highlander with the cold heart and icy exterior -- who swore he couldn't love again -- has already started to thaw.

And I'm no longer sure whose heart is melting first -- his, or mine.
