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.

Exclusive Excerpt from Shopping for a Highlander’s Elopement

Bzz

My phone buzzes once on the nightstand.

Then twice.

Hamish’s phone immediately follows. Then mine again.

We groan in sync. Our mothers are an Ice Bucket Challenge for libidos.

“Ten bucks says it’s your mum,” I mutter.

Hamish reaches with his free arm and grabs both phones, squinting.

“Nope. Yours first.”

I swipe and read:

Mom: I found a wedding planner in Swampscott who only does organic weddings. Locally sourced roses and gluten-free centerpieces!

Then:

She says St. Margaret’s Chapel doesn’t offer vegan catering, which means Fiona will just have to suck it. You have a lot of vegan guests.

“Hamish, do we have a lot of vegan guests coming?”

“Mebbe Luis is vegan,” he muses, eyes on his own phone. “Why?”

Mom: Also, do we have to let Fiona do a bagpipe solo?

Hamish reads his messages and winces.

Fiona: Been thinking about kilts. No cats in kilts. Marie’s a bampot. And that Chuffy dog will NOT be in the wedding party.

Fiona: Also—bringing my own officiant. He’s free on Thursdays and can perform the ceremony in Latin or Klingon.

Hamish tosses both phones face down.

“We should’ve eloped,” I sigh, flopping back against the pillow.

“We still can,” he offers, grinning.
