A love story begins in the heart of Edinburgh—but can it survive when the clock runs out?

Olivia Boyd craves adventure. When the opportunity to study abroad in Scotland arises, she leaves behind her ordinary life for the cobblestone streets and vibrant culture of Edinburgh. Immersed in the city’s music and history, she discovers The Red Rose—a centuries-old pub as captivating as the stories it holds.

Max Cameron never imagined his life behind the bar would lead to something extraordinary. Brooding yet fiercely loyal, he put his academic dreams aside to save his family’s pub. But when Olivia walks into The Red Rose with her infectious energy and wide-eyed wonder, his quiet world is turned upside down.

Drawn together by a spark they can’t ignore, Olivia and Max embark on an unforgettable journey through Edinburgh’s hidden treasures. But as their connection deepens, the looming end of Olivia’s semester forces them to confront an impossible question: Can love survive when it’s built on borrowed time?

Escape to the romance of Edinburgh and discover a story filled with passion, longing, and the courage to fight for what matters most.

"Olivia Boyd goes to Edinburgh ostensibly to finish her dissertation on Scottish folk music, but the journey is really about breaking free of distractions and finding herself again. However, roguish pub owner Max Cameron is the definition of distracting. He embeds himself in her heart as deeply as the melodies she loves. But she has to return to New York at the end of the semester. Will their romance end on a sweet note or a sour one?"

WRITING PLAYLISTS

The Red Rose has a little something to do with Scottish folk songs, so I’ve made a writing playlist. I make one for every book I write, but since this is directly related to the story, I thought I’d share. For all you ethnomusicologists out there, yes, I know I’ve mixed in some Irish music, but, there’s a lot of overlap between the two. So if I like it, I included it. If you like what you hear, support the artists by buying their music.
