About this ebook

She was fired for Christmas. He’s the Duke who signed the pink slip. And now, he’s her only ride to a Highland winter wonderland.

Sophia Reynolds is a master of the "imposter" act. She’s spent five years in London building a life out of paper-thin pennies and Jane Austen fantasies, all to forget the alcoholic father and the abusive ex she left behind in Denver. But her carefully curated world collapses on a Friday morning when she’s fired from her marketing job, just days before Christmas.

When her old clunker dies in a London snowstorm, her "guardian angel" arrives in a silver Aston Martin. Harris Kellison, the Duke of Finnes, is everything Sophia fears: rich, arrogant, and the secret owner of the company that just let her go.

Harris isn't just looking for a new manager; he’s looking for a lifetime. From helping Sophia's sister escape a nightmare back home to importing a private winter wonderland of snow to his eleventh-century castle, Harris is determined to melt the fence around Sophia’s heart.

As they navigate mistletoe traditions and steamy encounters in ancient sitting rooms, Sophia must decide: is she just a "meal ticket" for a man who has everything, or can a girl from nowhere finally find her home in the arms of a Scottish Duke?.

A sizzling, holiday romance featuring a protective billionaire, a 500-year-old castle, and a New Year’s vow that changes everything.

Ratings and reviews

A Scot for Christmas is the story of Sophia, a girlfan of Jane Austen, and Harris, a Scottish Duke. Both have mutual friends and have met on several occasions. Years earlier, Sophia moved to London from America to escape a horrible family life and to immerse herself in all things Jane Austen. As Harris pursues her, Sophia can't believe that this man is truly interested in her. I enjoy Victoria Pinder's writing; it is crisp, concise and delivers the HEA ending for her characters. Yet for me, I was disappointed with this story. Sophia was indecisive at every turn. I'm sure Harris would have had a case of whiplash trying to follow her on again/off again attitude. I loved the other stories in this series featuring Stephanie and Charlie and Charlotte and Logan. I loved Harris and all his romantic gestures, but Sophia? Not so much. While I wanted Harris to find his forever love, I really felt that he could have made a better choice for a wife. 3 stars.

Sofia and her friends share a love of Jane Austin. Harris Kellison is the hero that Sofia needs, she just needs to let herself believe in the fairytale that could be her life. Lots of great characters and a HEA.
