Skye MacDonald

Contemporary Romance Author

SkyeMacDonald writes steamy contemporary romances that celebrate the rugged beauty and urban energy of Scotland. Under this pen name she explores love in all its formsfrom off‑grid Highland cabins to glass‑walled penthouses overlooking Edinburgh Castle.

Her heroes range from gruff craftsmen and reclusive mountain men to charismatic billionaires; her heroines are curvy, creative women who refuse to settle for anything less than passion and partnership.

Skyes reads are packed with tropes readers crave—forced proximity, grumpy‑sunshine dynamics, second chances and instalove—yet each story offers its own unique twist and emotional depth.

Writing is Skye’s second act after a decade in travel journalism, where she fell in love with the north’s wild landscapes and the capital’s thriving arts scene. That wanderlust now fuels her fiction.

When she isn’t writing, Skye can be found trekking along lochside trails, losing herself in Edinburgh’s bookshops, and sharing drams of whisky with her husband and two terriers. She believes there’s magic in every storm and starlit street—and her goal is to capture that magic on the page so readers can fall in love with Scotland right alongside her characters.
