When a kiss is not just a kiss... Emma Stewart has been in love all her life, with a man who doesn't even know she exists. In a moment of audacity fueled by a dare, she decides it's time he noticed her. He never saw her coming, nor the kiss that would change everything.

One chilly morning, FINNEGAN MACDRUMMOND, unsuspecting and unprepared, finds himself the target of a swift and surprising kiss from a mysterious lass he's never before noticed. As quick as a fox, she steals his kiss and flees into the forest, leaving Finn both bewildered and intrigued. Compelled by her boldness, he follows, only to discover that her daring act was the result of a dare.

She dared to kiss a Scot. Now, can she dare to love him?

As they navigate the aftermath of their unexpected encounter, fear and disappointment threaten to widen the gap between them. Will the barriers of unspoken feelings and misunderstood intentions be too great to overcome? Or will they find that, against all odds, love truly does conquer all?

From a spur-of-the-moment kiss to a timeless Highland romance.
