44 pages

Sabotage at the Highland Games. Forced partnership with a laird. Suspicion, scandal… and one dangerously well-fitted kilt.

When natural philosopher Wanton Wallflower arrives in the Scottish Highlands to study the physics of the Glenravish Highland Games, she expects flying cabers, competitive grunting, and impeccable data. She does not expect Tavish MacTease—laird, legend, and the last Highland chief refusing to sell his ancestral land to English investors.
The Games are more than competition: they’re Tavish’s final defense against enclosure. And someone wants him gone.
A sabotaged caber. A poisoned (or extremely strong) whisky. A midnight arrow. Wanton quickly realizes the laird is the target of a series of escalating attacks. Determined to protect her “most statistically valuable subject,” she appoints herself his scientific bodyguard—whether he wants one or not.
Tavish believes she’s trouble. Wanton believes he’s a fascinating study in torque, heroism, and kilt aerodynamics. But when a final act of treachery threatens the Games—and Tavish’s future—Wanton must use every skill in her unconventional arsenal to uncover the culprit and save Glenravish.

Equal parts comedy, adventure, and Highland heat, MacTease Me Not is a fast-paced novella about a laird fighting for his land, a scholar fighting for her hypothesis, and the dangerous chemistry neither of them saw coming.
