Tartan Thesis, The

"A fantastic read from start to finish." — Jessica Dodge, best-selling author of The Forgotten Witch Two academic rivals. One forced partnership. Zero chance of keeping it professional. After a disastrous first meeting off campus, Beau, a charming, fish-out-of-water Texan, and Torin, a guarded, razor-smart Scotsman, discover they’re pursuing their PhDs in the same Scottish History program. Their clashing personalities and growing insecurities turn every seminar into a battlefield… until the department chair provides an ultimatum: work together or get out. Forced into a shaky alliance, they vow to call a ceasefire and actually learn from one another. As trust builds and defenses fall, they find themselves caught in a slow-burning connection neither of them is prepared for—or willing to walk away from. With their academic futures at stake and romantic missteps haunting them at every turn, Torin and Beau face the hardest question of all: Can they build a future together, or will history keep them apart? Perfect for readers who love MM romance, enemies-to-lovers, slow burn tension, forced proximity, LGBTQ+ romance, and swoony international love stories, The Tartan Thesis blends sharp wit, emotional depth, and undeniable and steamy chemistry against the majestic backdrop of Scotland.
