The Tartan Thesis: Love was never on the curriculum.

When a smooth-talking Texan and a razor-sharp Scotsman land in the same PhD program, the only thing sharper than their wit is their mutual contempt.

Beau arrived in Scotland with big dreams and bigger confidence—exactly the kind of charming, fish-out-of-water energy that Torin, a quietly brilliant and deeply guarded Scotsman, finds insufferable. From their very first seminar, these two academic rivals transform every lecture hall into a battleground, their clashing personalities threatening to derail both their scholarly ambitions before they've even begun.

Then their department chair delivers an ultimatum no one saw coming: collaborate on a joint research project or face expulsion. Suddenly, Beau and Torin are stuck together in a forced partnership that neither of them wants—and both of them desperately need.

What starts as a fragile ceasefire slowly becomes something neither man knows how to name. Navigating the ancient libraries, misty highlands, and impossibly charming pubs of Scotland, they discover that the qualities that irritate them most about each other are dangerously close to the qualities they admire. The slow burn between them is undeniable, but so are the insecurities, the pride, and the very real academic stakes standing in their way.

*The Tartan Thesis* is a warm, witty, and genuinely swoony LGBTQ+ romantic comedy that proves sometimes the person who challenges you most is exactly the one your heart has been waiting for.
