Whisky Business: A Novel By Elliot Fletcher

April Sinclair always dreamt of escaping her quiet island life to become a world-famous actress. Now, with her once-flourishing career at an all-time low, what better way to figure out where it all went wrong than to return to her roots? April sets her sights on a new challenge: saving her family’s distillery on the idyllic Scottish Isle of Skye. She doesn’t expect to find Malcolm Macabe, a short-tempered and exceedingly attractive man, living in the home she’s just inherited. He may be a far cry from the shy teenager she knew growing up, but one thing is for certain: he doesn’t want her around anymore.

Malcolm "Mal" Macabe, the master distiller, has three loves in his life: whisky, his dog, and silence. He has no time for the pampered princess poking her nose around his distillery, even if she is the one who got away. More comfortable in the shadows than the spotlight, Mal is content to wait her out, convinced she’ll grow bored and return to her glamorous world of nail salons and takeaway coffee.

However, April is determined to prove she belongs. As they clash over the future of the distillery, sparks begin to fly. April starts to see the depth behind Mal’s gruff exterior, while Mal struggles to resist the charm and resilience April brings. He tells himself it doesn’t matter, because April Sinclair could never want a man like him, right?

In a battle of wills, passion, and pride, April and Mal must confront their pasts to forge a new future. Can they save the distillery and find a love worth fighting for, or will their differences tear them apart? 📚❤️
