Skies Over Caledonia by Samantha Young is now live!
He’s a down-to-earth highland farmer. She’s the rebellious daughter of Hollywood royalty. They might seem like they’re from different worlds, but that won’t stop them from engaging in a marriage of convenience…
It’s been five years since Jared McCulloch’s grandfather Collum passed away and he inherited his farm in the Scottish Highlands. After his grandad saved him from his past life, Jared is determined to honor Collum’s legacy. But not only has a series of bad luck put him in danger of losing the farm, his estranged father is disputing the will. In a desperate situation, Jared realizes he’ll do just about anything to save the land.
Even marrying Allegra Howard, a woman he’s avoided at all costs.
A woman who tempts him beyond reason.
There’s only one place that makes Allegra Howard feel safe; one place that feeds her artist’s soul. Allegra wants to settle down in Scotland and expand her business. But there’s a hitch: immigration intends to return her to US soil.
Panicked, Allegra finds the one person just as desperate as she is. The same person she’s lusted after for years. In exchange for marrying her, she’ll invest financially in Jared McCulloch’s farm.
However, living together only forces them to acknowledge their searing mutual attraction. And with it comes an undeniable emotional connection Jared’s not sure he’s ready for.
Yet, blurring the lines of their arrangement is the least of his concerns when someone begins terrorizing the farm.
Allegra and Jared came together to save what matters most and now that might just be each other. And unless they can figure out which of their pasts has returned to torment them, they could lose their chance at a real future together…

MY REVIEW
This book is why I read romance. I mean, it had it all. From a marriage of convenience to forced proximity with a stellar opposites attract vibe. Skies Over Caledonia checked off all of my boxes and left me with a huge smile on my face…
Allegra Howard has only felt safe in one place and wants nothing more than to settle down in Scotland. There’s just one tiny problem, immigration wants to send her packing. Desperate to stay in Scotland, Allegra comes up with a crazy plan; marry Jared to stay in the country, and in return, she’ll invest in his family’s farm. Seems easy enough until their buried attraction for one another reaches its boiling point. Lines are being blurred and feelings are coming into question and if that wasn’t enough to deal with, someone is messing with Jared’s farm.
Skies Over Caledonia is hands down my favorite in the Highlands series and is one of the best marriage of convenience stories I’ve come across this year. Allegra and Jared’s story was utterly consuming and kept me on my toes.
On the surface, Allegra seems flighty and wild, but that description of her couldn’t be further from the truth. She has endured and experienced more than most. She’s had her fair share of disappointments and heartbreaks and is just looking for a place where she fits. And Jared….On the surface, he seems broody and closed off, but when you really get to know him, you see someone whose life has been turned upside down and who would do anything for his family. He keeps his heart guarded and is fiercely protective of those he deems worthy. Together, Jared and Allegra were an unstoppable force. They were opposites in every way, yet they couldn’t fight the pull between them and I loved seeing them navigate their way through uncharted waters together.
Skies Over Caledonia was not all hearts and flowers. This story was filled with some of the best angst and will really tug at your heartstrings. I mean, with two broken characters just trying to find their places in the world and an unexpected romance, how could you possibly go wrong? And when you add a dash of mystery and suspense, you’ve got yourself one heck of an entertaining read. If you’re looking for a swoon-worthy, marriage of convenience story with delicious angst that will steal your heart, you’ve got to get your hands on Skies Over Caledonia. This story gave me all the feels and is a must-read for 2024!
