A feel-good Scottish Christmas romcom full of family chaos, village gossip and festive Highland warmth.
Christmas in Lochalshie comes with snow, gossip and absolutely no chance of a quiet life.
Gaby and Jack deserve a break.
They are new parents, pub owners and survivors of enough village drama to fill several festive newsletters. All they want is to get through the Christmas rush at the Lochside Welcome, wave off the hotel guests, and enjoy a proper family celebration.
That may be optimistic.
Gaby’s family is in turmoil, Katya’s love life is wobbling again, Lachlan is behaving suspiciously, and Mhari is making it her seasonal mission to know everyone’s business. Even babysitting help is suddenly in short supply.
With relatives misbehaving, friendships under strain and Lochalshie doing what Lochalshie does best, this Christmas is going to be anything but peaceful.
Highland Christmas is the fifth 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.
