The True Scotsman Collection
Escape to the Scottish Highlands with the complete True Scotsman contemporary romance series—five full-length novels packed with steamy, funny, heart-warming small-town romance, binge-ready in a single boxed set.
Welcome to Bannock: a close-knit Highland town where everyone knows your business, the banter is relentless, and the men are stubborn, swoony, and impossible to resist.
Five couples. Five happily-ever-afters. One big-hearted Highland family finding love, one sibling at a time.
Included in this collection:
The Highland Kiss
Jilted minutes before her wedding, a London bride flees to the Scottish Highlands—only to discover the owner of her hotel is the first boy she ever kissed. As a lad, he was sweet. Now he's grumpy, guarded, and infuriatingly handsome.
The Highland Fling
A yoga instructor who's sworn off men spends one unforgettable night with a commitment-shy Scottish playboy. A no-strings fling was the plan. A positive pregnancy test was not. He falls first. She's not so sure.
The Highland Crush
Six years ago, a cinnamon-roll Highlander made the worst mistake of his life—and lost his childhood sweetheart. Now she's back in Bannock, and he'll bake, grovel, and do whatever it takes to win a second chance he's not sure he deserves.
The Highland Game
He's the rival whose new business could sink her family's pub. He's also the online gaming partner she's been falling for night after night, though neither of them has any idea. A laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers romance with serious You've Got Mail energy.
The Highland Bad Boy
She's the good girl with the spotless reputation. He's the tattooed biker her brothers can't stand. When the town turns on him over something he didn't do, she's the only one who believes he's innocent—and the only one willing to risk everything to prove it.

I’ve just finished this series and to say that I am unequivocally changed as a person would be putting it lightly. I am now Scottish, and there’s absolutely nothing anyone can do about it because that’s simply the fact of the matter. 🙄
But back to what’s actually important.
This entire series was incredible. I went through every possible emotion, fell in love five different times, teared up more times than I could count, and emerged from this Highland adventure… Scottish. Like I said. 🙄
Each book follows a different couple while remaining beautifully interconnected, so every story builds on the last. It’s packed with romance, laugh-out-loud banter, emotional moments that hit you right in the chest, delicious angst, and just the right amount of steam.
The characters are unforgettable, and getting to know them while immersed in the breathtaking Highland setting only adds to the charm and depth of their stories. By the end, they genuinely feel like people you’ve lived alongside rather than characters you’ve simply read about.
I would recommend this series to absolutely anyone. Even if you’re sitting there thinking, “Highland romance isn’t really my thing,” I promise you… it is. Trust me. I’m Scottish now. 🙄
I cannot recommend this series highly enough. It completely stole my heart, and I already know these characters will be living in my head for a very, very long time.

Absolutely brilliant!
I’ve read all five of these stories and can’t praise them enough.
The series is absolutely brilliant and I love that they are now in a collection.
The collection includes -
The Highland Kiss
The Highland Fling
The Highland Crush
The Highland Game
The Highland Bad Boy
All of the stories are interconnected and can be read as stand-alones, but for a better reading experience, best read in order.
They are set in a Scottish Highland town called Bannock and each tell the story of one family and the men and women that they fall in love with.
They’re all fun, the chemistry between each couple is scorching plus oh so steamy at times, there’s drama, emotions and beautiful endings.
Plus the characters were all so loveable.
A series I would highly recommend.

The Highland Kiss
Wedding planner Emily escapes to Bannock, Scotland after a traumatic experience. She goes to the hotel where she had spent a happy holiday with her dad in her teens. The siblings that now run the hotel are the children of the couple that used to own it. Ally, being the eldest, feels trapped in managing the hotel when his dream is to run an outdoor activities business with his best friend. Emily and Ally become close again when they realise they shared a connection years earlier. In addition, Emily helps Ally and his brothers to change direction in their lives and live the future they are looking for. Some wonderful romantic, steamy and laugh out loud scenes.
The Highland Fling
Grace gets together with Aidan at their best friends' engagement party. Grace returns to London and soon discovers her one night with Aidan has left her with more than she bargained for. However, she is still getting over her last failed relationship and Aidan is not relationship material and based in Bannock, Scotland so there can definitely be no future together. But David, Grace's twin, moves to Bannock and when she visits at Christmas Aidan finds out he is going to be a father. Drama follows as they try to work out how they are going to be parents. Another epic read in this series.
The Highland Crush
Lewis and Iona grew up together, Lewis living in his family's hotel and Iona in the house opposite. Once grown up Iona left to go to university while Lewis worked in the hotel. However, their relationship developed into something more when Lewis visited Iona while she was studying. Family tragedy drove them apart. Years later Iona returned to her home town with her current boyfriend, Richard. But she realises he is not the man for her. Once things end with him, Lewis tries to renew his friendship with Iona and hopes it will become more, but she certainly makes him work for a second chance with her. Heart-warming, funny and steamy story.
The Highland Game
Jamie and Maisie's story is a real treat. Jamie has been the irritating, somewhat idle McIntyre in the previous stories, but in this one we find out why, making him wonderfully endearing. Rivals in business in their small town, Jamie and Maisie are gaming buddies online but neither of them know it. However, they eventually discover they have been chatting and gaming together for months. But as they both compete for business, their mutual chemistry ignites spectacularly. Eventually, communication between both businesses lead to a way for Maisie and Jamie to have a future together. Some steam, emotional and laugh out loud moments make this a must read.
The Highland Bad Boy
Ok. I am now bereft that this series has come to an end. The final McIntyre sibling, Cat, is determined to have some fun with the Bannock bad boy, Robbie. He is her older brother, Ally's arch enemy. They were forever scrapping growing up and Robbie was always in trouble. When Robbie has trouble at his family's resort and is suspended, Cat seizes the opportunity to hire him to renovate her newly bought flat. Robbie fights the attraction to Cat, but comes round when she offers to help him clear his name, having been wrongly accused of misdemeanours. Together with Robbie's brother's boyfriend, Cat gains entry to an office in the resort to gather evidence. This is such a fun, steamy and emotional read and a fitting finale to a fantastic series.
