New Release: Shopping for a Highlander’s Elopement by Julia Kent
Blurb:
I didn’t expect to fall for a Scottish footballer so annoyingly sunny you need shades to be around him.
I didn’t expect to say yes to his heart-felt, if loopy, proposal while he lay injured on the pitch, blathering on about banana pudding and sparkly unicorns.
What I definitely didn’t expect?
For our engagement to explode into a paparazzi circus, our mothers to turn into wedding bulldozers, and for our wedding protector’s perfectly reasonable elopement plan to spiral into a road trip escape.
So here we are.
In Love You, Maine, a town that celebrates Valentine’s Day every single day. We’re here to get married. Quietly. No drama. In disguise.
Although good luck hiding a 6’5” ginger Scottish striker wearing a knee brace and a perpetual extrovert smile.
Instead of being subtle and blending in? Our quiet escape is vibrating heart-shaped beds, mirrors on the ceilings, secret identities, interfering mothers, and one suspiciously enthusiastic moose that humps dumpsters.
This was supposed to be a simple wedding. Just me and Hamish. No fuss.
But nothing about us has ever been simple with us.
Still, this is what love is, right? It’s chaos. It’s compromise. It’s crying in a wedding planner’s office, then kissing in a hot spring.
It’s choosing each other again and again, even when everything goes sideways.
No matter what comes next… this is our comeback story, in more ways than one.
And no – that’s not a euphemism. 🙂
Shopping for a Highlander’s Elopement is a romantic comedy that blends the worlds of four bestselling series by New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent:
– Shopping for a Billionaire
– Shopping for a Highlander
– Whatever It Takes
– Love You, Maine
If you love sports romance, surprise proposals, grand gestures, chaotic weddings, Scottish footballers, golden retriever/black cat energy, and characters who love too hard, mess up spectacularly, and always find their way back to each other with plenty of laughter (and lovingly-used scrunchies) along the way, then this is your book.

*****
Excerpt:
Shannon turns back to me, sliding into big-sister-who-knows-you’re-spiraling mode. A breeze catches her long, brown hair and lifts it across her eyes, warm concern radiating from them. Shannon got Mom’s hair and Dad’s eyes, while I’m the opposite, with Dad’s auburn hair and Mom’s bright blue eyes. Our faces are similar in shape, even if the genetic roll of the dice gave us different features. “You okay?”
I open my mouth.
Nothing comes out.
“Oh, boy.” She takes my hand and scoots into the row where Declan was sitting. “You’ve reached the blank-stare stage. That’s never good.”
We settle into two seats, my breath still shaky. Shannon nudges me with her shoulder.
“You know,” she says, “I’m not even sure where I’m supposed to sit. Jacoby side or McCormick?”
“You were born a Jacoby.”
“Sure, but I married into this madness. And now I’ve got a toe in each volcano.”
“Welcome to the lava pool.”
She laughs. “This is all still better than my proposal, though.”
Every little sister loves being reminded of her big sister’s screw ups. I laugh. “You swallowed your engagement ring.”
She grins. “And launched us into a seventy-two-hour medical drama called #poopwatch. Honestly, this whole spectacle? Glitter cannon, megaphone, and Hamish’s mom’s interpretive bagpipe routine? It’s still less traumatic than giving birth to a diamond solitaire.”
“I had to text you for stool updates.”
“I color-coded the spreadsheet. It was efficient. But I don’t recommend unexpected emergency room trips on proposal day.”
I crack a laugh, the pressure in my chest finally giving way. “Thanks for the warning. I have no plans to see the inside of an ER today, thank you very much.”
Shannon takes my hand. Her expression shifts to that rare sister-serious look I only ever see in moments that count. I’m so lucky that she and Carol are good, solid, kind, smart adults. I need them at times like this.
Need them more than ever.
We can wisecrack and one-up. We can razz each other and needle. But when one of us is in the fear zone, we’re there for her.
Always.
“This is love, Amy. Ridiculous, oversized, loud-ass love. It’s not perfect. It’s not quiet. It’s never going to be. But it’s real. Hamish is choosing you, all of you. And yeah, he’s doing it in a full stadium with a glitter fallout zone, but he’s doing it. He’s all in.”
I breathe.
“He’s just… so much.”
“I know. But he’s your much.”

Author Bio:
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge. Since 2013, she has sold more than 2 million books, with 4 New York Times bestsellers and more than 21 appearances on the USA Today bestseller list. Her books have been translated into French, German, and Italian, with more titles releasing in the future.
From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men’s room toilet (and he isn’t a billionaire she met in a romantic comedy).
She lives in New England with her husband and three children where she is the only person in the household with the gene required to change empty toilet paper rolls.

Stolen Desire (Outlawed Realm Book Four) by Tina Donahue
Blurb:
One touch is never enough.
Her freedom depends on one man. A criminal to his realm…
One minute, Paige Ross is outside a Seattle bar, grieving a failed engagement. The next, she jerks awake in a weird, candlelit room with velvet walls, black silk sheets, and a man who motions for silence.
Paige has little choice but to trust the powerful stranger who promises a way out of what looks like Satan’s brothel. And pray his promise to keep her safe is as real as the heat burning in his eyes.
Banished from E2’s ruling elite for supposed crimes against the realm, Zekin risks everything to rescue those brought to E5 for the guards’ carnal pleasure. Paige will be leaving this inhospitable realm of fire and ice—if he can somehow forget the way she melts in his arms.
Safe—temporarily—in an underwater world populated by strange creatures, Paige’s sexual awakening explodes into an unquenchable need that consumes them both. But the guards will be looking for her. And Zekin’s plan to send her home is a dangerous journey she cannot—will not—take without him.
Available from: Amazon UK | Amazon US

Excerpt:
He struggled then glanced to the side. The pod Paige was in.
Their eyes met.
Shocking desire consumed him, tangling his thoughts, making him more uncertain than he’d ever been. Yearning flooded her face, the same she’d shown before their kiss.
Her response to him then hadn’t lasted. She’d backed away, confusion and possibly dismay coloring her features.
She wore the same emotions now, uncertain about her feelings.
He suspected she didn’t want to watch him and Eeete but couldn’t help herself.
Eeete made a compliant sound laced with lust, urging him to do whatever he willed.
Their coupling would never be enough for him. This was still a prison. He could never leave it. Nor could she or the others here. Only Paige.
Refusing to think about the sorry future, he turned from Paige and entered Eeete in a powerful thrust, sinking into her completely. He trembled and tightened his jaw. She was extraordinarily tight and indescribably warm—designed that way by geneticists who’d created her.
She was also sweet and giving.
Affection filled him, crowding out coarse male need. He wanted his feelings to evolve into love for her, but they never would.
He should have pulled out and left the pod but couldn’t. To abandon her at this point would wound her more than if he simply used her. No matter how he’d tried to explain himself in the past, she didn’t comprehend a man’s need for honor, to do the right thing.
She knew only this. To her, sex had been her one connection with others in a relentlessly lonely and cruel existence.
No, he couldn’t leave her now. She wouldn’t understand. Nor would he ever have Paige in the way he wanted.
He gripped Eeete’s hips and thrust repeatedly, telling himself to be grateful for this moment, warning himself not to consider anything else. Anything more.
Paige couldn’t turn away. She didn’t want to. Zekin’s meaty cock burrowing into Eeete’s sheath transfixed her. Moisture from Eeete’s arousal glistened on his thick shaft.
He stroked her clit.
Her mouth sagged open. She gripped the rough linen then gritted her teeth. Her color deepened.
She was fighting her orgasm.
He stroked her nub repeatedly, coaxing her over the edge.
She didn’t fall, another defiant act in a lifetime of yielding.
Paige figured Eeete’s rebellion had nothing to do with her desires and everything with his pleasure. She wanted his enjoyment above all else.
He rode her fast then slow, alternating his pace. His shoulders bunched. Perspiration dotted his chest and forehead, the thin sheen a bluish shade from the water, the tint accentuating his bristly cheeks.
Paige lost her breath. She imagined his stubble rasping her inner thighs as he licked her cleft. The thrill in having him taste her, tonguing her clit, wrapping his arms around her legs so she couldn’t move them or deny him.
She never would. She owed him for rescuing her from the horrible junk they’d been through and the stuff they’d yet to face. However, her feelings for him went deeper. She longed to touch and smell him, lose herself in his embrace. There was no way she could deny her emotions any longer. It was crazy, given who he was and wherever they were.
Escaping the awful room she’d awakened in, the ice tsunami, and the bizarre creatures in this place had brushed the cobwebs from her brain. For the first time ever, she needed to live for the moment, enjoying what she could before it ended.
It would.
He’d promised to do everything he could to bring her home. Given what he’d already done on her behalf, he’d proved he was a man who kept his word. She figured he might be waiting for the monsters outside these pods to fall asleep and stop being a threat so he could take her back.
If the creatures ever rested.
If they didn’t, he and his men would have to devise a workable plan.
He tensed in climax, his Adam’s apple bobbing from his quick swallows, ragged breaths heaving his chest.
Eeete released the linen, her fingers limp, contentment glazing her eyes.
They remained joined.
At last, he rested his cheek against her back, his attention on the pod wall, the coral and creatures beyond, and finally Paige.
Held by him, stirred beyond anything she’d known, she was unable and unwilling to glance away.
