A feel-good Scottish village romcom about marriage, community and fighting for the place that feels like home.
Happy-ever-after is lovely, but Lochalshie was never going to let it stay quiet.
Gaby and Jack have made it down the aisle.
Now they should be enjoying married life, Highland summers and the smug glow of finally getting their act together. Instead, the Lochside Welcome is in trouble.
The pub and hotel is the village’s favourite place to gossip, eat, celebrate and interfere. Losing it would change Lochalshie for everyone. With business falling, a rival hotel playing dirty and the landlord struggling, Gaby and Jack step in to help.
Naturally, nothing is simple. Work is piling up, the regulars all have advice, and a surprise closer to home is about to make life even messier.
Saving the pub might be hard. Surviving everyone’s helpful advice may be impossible.
Highland Chances is the fourth book in the Highland Books series, a feel-good Scottish romantic comedy perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Sophie Kinsella and Jill Mansell.

"One day, my sweet, we shall buy all our weekly food from Waitrose, Marks and Spencer's and small, artisan producers," that's the promise writer Emma Baird regularly makes to her husband, the vow dependent on plenty of people being kind enough to buy her books and boost her income... There's always a plan B, though... In the meantime, she also copywrites and edits to make ends meet, saving her fiction scribbling for when she has the odd hour or so. She is the author of the Highland Books series, set in the fictional village of Lochalshie (loosely based on Arrochar on the west coast of Scotland), and she is working on a few novels at the moment (she loves writing and HATES rewriting and revising...) Her website is: https://emmabaird.com and she'd be delighted if you dropped by. if you'd do her the ginormous favour of signing up for her newsletter by emailing her at pinkglitterpubs@gmail.com, she'll send you a free short story. The newsletter features a lot of pics of cats and very little in the way of hard sells. Emma lives close to the Bonnie, Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond with her understanding husband and two VERY demanding cats.
