[close] Englishman Lake Benson loaned his life savings to his dippy sister so that she could buy a shop. It was a big mistake. His sister has been steadily flushing his money down the drain – and now he wants it back. Years in the special forces taught Lake that if you want a job done, do it yourself. So he steps in to make the shop profitable, sell it and get his money back.

The only problem is, the business is an underwear shop. And all Lake knows about underwear can be summed up in how fast he can unsnap a bra. To make matters worse, the tiny highland town already has a lingerie shop. A successful one, run by an ex-lingerie model. A very gorgeous ex-lingerie model, who’s distracting him from his mission more than he’d like to admit. If Lake wants to get his savings back, and get out of Scotland, he only has one option – wipe out the competition.

Kirsty Campbell has spent years rebuilding her life after she woke up in hospital in Spain to find her body scarred, and her ex-fiance had run off with all her money. The last thing she needs is a cocky, English soldier-boy trying to ruin what little she has left. Her home town is only too happy to help her fight the latest English invasion, although Lake is beginning to sway them with his sex appeal and cut price knickers. With the help of her mother, and the retired ladies of Knit or Die, Kirsty sets about making sure that her shop is the last one standing in Invertary.

It’s Scotland versus England as you’ve never seen it before. It’s lingerie war.

[close] An endearing tale of the hapless and the clueless. Orton Spotswood’s splendid suburban isolation is rudely disturbed by news of a homicide. Although by nature a man of “decorous and genteel prevarication when it comes to matters of heroism,” Spotswood is goaded into action by his long-serving (and long-suffering) girlfriend. A cascading series of events unfolds, some of which even threaten to spoil his appetite. A tech-sector billionaire, a corrupt politician, precocious college students, the California Highway Patrol, and the DA’s hatchet man nip at his heels. Tormented by freeway hallucinations, but grounded in televised sports and truck stop epiphanies, he soldiers on with unbroken spirit. [close]
