Kip's Monster

John "Oz" Osman is sure he's got everything under control. His dad has ditched out on him in favour of a brand-new family abroad, and his teenage sister is bouncing off the walls with rage, but Oz is determined to cope: he's dropped out of university and taken a boring, responsible job. He's got it all covered. Doing everything his dad should've done.He's even let go of the love of his life. No room for Kip in Oz's new grown-up world. Kip is charm and trouble in equal measure, with a good dash of substance abuse thrown in. He's also ruining a brilliant career in biology by his obsession with cryptids - monsters, as Oz sees them - the yetis, lake beasts and giant squids no sane man would waste his time chasing around the world. Yes, Oz is better off without him.But Oz has a grandmother who remembers how happy Oz used to be with Kip at his side. With his best interests at heart - and a few schemes of her own - Gran sets the pair up for a reunion.Kip and Oz have loved each other since the day they first met - but sometimes love isn't enough. When disaster strikes their second-chance relationship, Kip takes refuge at Camp Saorsa, a remote community of cryptid hunters near Scotland's Loch Ness.If there's one thing Oz is not about to believe in, it's the Loch Ness monster. He's not sure he believes in anything anymore, and his happy life with Kip feels like a lost dream. Will the magic of a far-flung Scottish winter be enough to draw these two lonely souls back together, and what mysteries lurk in the depths of the ancient loch?
