Lost in scotland

Just when you think you're lost, you might end up falling in love. 

Sam Farouk is having a bad year. Things have gone down the drain ever since she found her boyfriend cheating on her at the Golden Globes. An unfortunate turn of events forces her to trade sunny Los Angeles with the rainy, chilly highlands of Scotland. She has the chance to work as one of the makeup artists on a new TV series based on a fantasy saga everyone is bananas about, but she can’t help feeling lost and a little bit homesick. Until she starts falling for Hugh MacLeod, the actor set to impersonate the titular role of Abarath, dragon slayer and part-time Casanova.
Hugh MacLeod is ready for his big break. After more than a decade taking every possible acting job just to stay afloat, he can finally show his range in a series to be proud of. Hugh’s commitment to his career comes before anything else, and that’s part of the reason why he hasn’t had a serious relationship in a while. But the more he’s around Sam, the more he knows he’s in deep, deep trouble. How is he supposed to not fall for the sexy, mysterious brunette who works all over him every single day? Every touch, every look is torture.
Getting lost in each other might be wrong, but it could end up being just what they need.

Sample text:

 

I had been dreaming of attending the Golden Globes since I was a young girl. My parents worked in the industry for decades, and growing up, my sister and I always wanted to work in movies. While I was more of a behind-the-scenes type of girl, my sister enjoyed the spotlight, and she became one of the most beloved young actresses in Hollywood. At twenty-six years old, she was already a Golden Globe winner and an Oscar nominee.

The Golden Globes were one of my favorite awards shows.

I loved the atmosphere—it was always funnier and looser than the Oscars. The jokes were sharper, too, and usually included poking fun at the intoxicated attendees. I also loved the after-parties. I had gone to a couple of them in the past, thanks to my sister Amira, but this year I was attending with my boyfriend, Eric Oliveira.

The show we both worked on, which he co-created and co-wrote, was nominated for best comedy on TV. I was so proud of him. He had worked so hard to get there.

Hi, My Name is Georgia, was Eric’s lovechild with actress Quinn Levy, and it had quickly become the darling of the critics. Ratings hadn’t been great the first season, but thankfully the network had granted us a second chance.

Season two had been well reviewed so far, but once again, the declining ratings had brought us close to the brink of paranoia. We feared every day that the network would decide to pull the plug on us. Then, a month ago, we had woken up to the greatest news ever.

Georgia had not only been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Comedy, but both the lead actor and actress had scored a nomination in their respective categories. Ratings started picking up, and even though the show was currently on Christmas break, our numbers on Hulu and Netflix were up as well. It seemed Georgia was finally getting the big break it deserved.
