B is for Bagpipes and Bullshot by Janice Horton
Blurb: (from goodreads) When Innes Buchanan inherits the title of Laird, he is entrusted with the Scottish family estate, the ancestral home, and centuries of noble tradition. Sadly, he also inherits the family bank balance which, after death duty, is crumbling faster than the walls of their ancient castle.
After exhausting even the most unlikely of cash generating alternatives and with bankruptcy on the horizon, Innes stumbles across one last initiative, a research scholarship in Texas to establish a new herd of cattle. With a lifetime of sheep farming and no room for failure, Innes’s luck returns on a chance encounter with Orley MacKenna, a born and raised Texan cowgirl who needs little convincing to leave her past behind. Though a likely couple, the two settle for an unlikely business partnership, and return to Scotland to try and save the Buchanan fortune.
Told with timeless Scottish romanticism and a knowing sense of humour, Bagpipes and Bullshot twists an everyday love story with a whole cast of village eccentrics who integrate seamlessly into a fantastic play on rural life.

A little while ago I won one of Janice’s guides to self publishing but haven’t dipped in to any of her fiction yet. I wonder what this one is like?

I’ve read all of Janice’s books, Rosa. I loved them. I think you’d enjoy this one. 😉
Sounds like a great story. As a Texan I guess I should read it. And learn more a bout Scotland, too. Thanks, Melanie.
This sounds like an interesting story. I was born in South Carolina, but I live in Texas now. I have both Irish and Scottish heritage.
Have a great weekend!
Been deep into Scottish and Irish heritage research. Love these stories!
I think you’d enjoy Janice’s book, Beverly. 🙂
