Will their chance connection mend what’s broken…or break what’s left?
Laira Harris, a 54-year-old widow, is drowning in silence seven months after losing her husband. Urged by her sister to communicate with the world again, Laira ventures into an AI chatroom to practice her human skills. But when she connects with “Jocko,” a witty, kilt-wearing Scottish Highlander persona, his charm lures her out of her quiet cocoon.
Jacob MacKinney, a ruggedly charming 59-year-old Scotsman, runs his family’s historic pub in Inverness, where every face is familiar and every story predictable. Craving a fresh connection, he stumbles into the same chatroom. Their late-night texts ignite a slow-burn romance. Emboldened by Jocko’s nudging, Laira books a trip to Scotland, where their virtual flirtation collides with reality in a whirlwind of kilts, ceilidhs, and heart-pounding moments on the high seas.
But Jacob’s secret—that he’s a flesh-and-blood man, not an AI program—threatens to unravel their priceless bond. Will their undeniable chemistry and soul-deep understanding survive the truth, or will distance and deception steal their second chance at love?
Perfect for fans of emotionally charged romances, Priceless is a poignant tale of rediscovery, of the risks one man will take for true love, and one womans courage to step back into the world.
