She never believed in love at first sight, until she lays eyes on a handsome ginger Highlander. He's afraid to lose her friendship...

Amelia has everything she has ever dreamed off. After finishing university she now works as a tour-guide in the romantic ruins of Urquhart Castle, overlooking Loch Ness. The only thing she hasn’t been lucky with so far is love. Amelia never believed in something like love at first sight – until she meets Dermot. The handsome, red-haired Highlander makes her heart suddenly miss a beat whenever she dares to look at him. But Dermot only has eyes for a beautiful singer, regularly performing in the local pub.

With Freddie, the young farrier, she finds a shoulder to cry on and he always seems to be around when she needs someone to lean on. When the two of them watch the magical play of colours of the Northern Lights in the November sky, Amelia starts to wonder whether Dermot really is the answer to her happiness, or whether it may be found a lot closer than she had ever expecte
