Andrew Spencer arrives in Scotland a week before his sister’s wedding and is immediately roped in to help. His job will be to assist the wedding photographer, Natalie Lockhart. However, she turns out to be the unforgettable one-night stand from six years earlier, the one who he connected with in a way he’s never connected with a woman before—both between the sheets and out of them. Unfortunately, she left before he woke up in the morning, never giving him so much as her name. He should be angry with her, he really should. And yet, the more time he spends with Natalie, the more he wishes he’d woken up in time to catch her six years ago. Since few women would put up with his family’s duels, one of the weirdest dinners in history, and even a wedding-related chocolate emergency, and not go running for the hills, Natalie Lockhart is one-of-a-kind. The added bonus: she sets his skin on fire unlike any other. The only question is whether love and laughter will be enough for them to overcome everything and find a way to be together. Of course, that means surviving the wedding and his family first before they can even think of the future. And given the track record of his family and their get-togethers, surviving without an arrest record isn’t always guaranteed. ==== Keywords: Rom-com, Scottish strong heroine, humor, Scotland, romantic comedy, second chance romance

“The ideal instructional guide and reference for anyone doing genealogical research” by the author of Tracing Your Scottish Family History on the Internet (Midwest Book Review). Despite its Union with England and Wales in 1707, Scotland remained virtually independent from its partners in many ways, retaining its own legal system, its own state church, and its own education system. In Tracing Scottish Ancestry Through Church and State Records, genealogist Chris Paton examines the most common records used by family historians in Scotland, ranging from the vital records kept by the state and the various churches, the decennial censuses, tax records, registers of land ownership and inheritance, and records of law and order. Through precepts of clare constat and ultimus haeres records, feudalism and udal tenure, to irregular marriages, penny weddings and records of sequestration, Chris Paton expertly explores the unique concepts and language within many Scottish records that are simply not found elsewhere within the British Isles. He details their purpose and the information recorded, the legal basis by which they were created, and where to find them both online and within Scotland’s many archives and institutions. “A useful and very readable introduction to Scottish records, with many case studies to assist the reader, but there is also much in it that may be new to more experienced family historians.” —The Local Historian, journal of the British Association for Local History “Leads the reader through the Scottish record jungle.” —Canada’s Anglo-Celtic Connections
