The Hellisay Series
Come to Hellisay for a cosy, indulgent, and spicy escape, where the kettle has always just boiled, the gossip is always flowing, and happily ever afters are guaranteed.

The women are funny, fabulous, and gloriously complicated. The men are hot and competent. And on Hellisay, falling in love is rarely a private affair.

What if you go somewhere for one year and accidentally build a life?
Jenn Fraser has spent years treating life like a departure lounge: temporary jobs, temporary homes, temporary men, and a passport full of proof that leaving is easier than staying.

Then one spectacularly awful day leaves her unemployed, hungover, and very much out of excuses. Enter Auntie Peigi, with a one-year offer Jenn can’t quite refuse: move to Hellisay, bake at the island airport café, live in the family cottage, and work out what the hell comes next.

Jenn plans to keep the island at arm’s length. Hellisay has other ideas. So does Ruairidh MacLean. Quietly devastating, dryly funny, and far too easy to want, the local pilot is exactly the kind of complication Jenn does not need.

Unfortunately, between baking, yoga, ceilidhs, new friendships, old family ties, and one mortifying sex-toy luggage incident, Hellisay is becoming harder to dismiss as just another temporary stop. And Ruairidh is becoming much harder to leave behind.

Because for once, Jenn’s biggest problem isn’t figuring out where to go next. It’s deciding whether staying might be the bravest thing she’s ever done.

Tropes:
– opposites attract
– hot, competent pilot MMC
– thirty-something FMC figuring out what the hell comes next
– fresh start / starting over
– small island setting / close-knit community
– falling for the place as well as the person
– slow-burn romance with a guaranteed HEA
