Between whisky tumblers and alpacas, a Highland romance brews.
Shona Fraser's life is as spirited as the whisky and gin she distils. As she sets out to transform Kirkby's old distillery into a highlight of the region, she undergoes her own transformation as well. Going from carefree party girl to respectable businesswoman is the change she was prepared to make. But life has more in store for her.
Local vet Kendrick McIntosh has a heart as tender as the animals he cares for. Their worlds collide - quite literally - when Shona's beloved alpaca, Nessie, takes a tipsy tumble in front of Kendrick's car. The fateful encounter sparks a fiery connection between them.
Beneath the surface of their shared love for Highland dancing and furry friends lies a deeper bond, unveiled through a twist of fate.
"High Spirits & Gentle Beasts" is the third novel in the "Highland Happiness" series and a tantalizing tale of passion, mishaps, and the magical allure of the Highlands.
