The Accidental Scot



When her father is injured, Edinburgh engineer Pippa McDonnell comes home to Gandiegow to take over the family business, the North Sea Valve Company. But to get the money for her father's care, she may have to sell her dad's innovative deep sea valve design to MTech--represented by charming American Max McKinley. As the town prepares for Christmas, Pippa and Max find they are drawn to each other. Max seems like an honorable businessman, but is he there to steal the valve design...or to steal Pippa's heart?

The newest romance in the charming Kilts and Quilts series from Patience Griffin, author of Meet Me in Scotland.

Christmas in the small village of Gandiegow brings holiday cheer—and a chance for love between two strangers…
 
When her father is injured in an accident, Edinburgh engineer Pippa McDonnell comes home to Gandiegow to take over the family business, the North Sea Valve Company. Now she’s working overtime trying to fix NSV’s finances and find the cash to get her father proper medical care.
 
One possibility is to accept a partnership with MTech, an American firm desperate to get their hands on her da’s innovative valve design. He was against bringing in outsiders, but Pippa is desperate enough to at least listen to MTech’s charming representative Max McKinley.
 
As Christmas approaches and with the help of Gandiegow's meddling quilters, Pippa and Max slowly find themselves attracted to each other. Max seems honorable, but is he there to steal the valve design…or Pippa’s heart?
