Shopping for a Highlander
I dinna understand Americans. Or, as we say in Scotland, I dinna understand ye eedjits. I’m stuck in New York after my agent makes a bloody mess of an endorsement contract, and this crazy American holiday – Thanksgiving – is in two days. The invitation to spend it in Massachusetts with the Jacoby family is about as appealing as rotten haggis.
My firm answer is nae. Until I remember Amy is part of the family.
Suddenly, I’m available. Eager, even. Perhaps she’ll pull my wishbone. What I canna admit is how she pulls my heartstrings, too. And here comes Amy’s mother with a sprig of mistletoe, dangling right above Amy’s bonnie head.
I’m a professional chickenblocker. Except “chicken” is a euphemism. I get paid to follow a womanizing troglodyte who thinks rules are for other people and that my pants are the next pair he’s getting into. Dream on. Keeping Scottish football player Hamish McCormick away from inappropriate scandals while he does product endorsements is my mission. No problem. Until Hamish decides I’m his next scandal. And maybe more.
He’s got an ego the size of a kilt and a libido bigger than his… chicken. But beneath the bravado is a man who pulls heartstrings as easily as wishbones. And when a fake relationship starts feeling very real, the banter turns to tenderness, and the locker room scenes get steamy, neither of us can pretend anymore.
The Shopping for a Highlander series by New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent is a four-book romantic comedy spinoff set in the Shopping for a Billionaire world, following Scottish football player Hamish McCormick – Declan’s cousin – and mystery shopper Amy Jacoby as they navigate cultural clashes, professional boundaries, and an undeniable attraction.
Starting with a Thanksgiving in Massachusetts where a Scotsman discovers American holiday traditions (and mistletoe), the series builds into an enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn sports romance featuring a surprise kiss, fake relationship, real banter, and plenty of locker room scenes. With Hamish’s Scottish brogue, Amy’s sharp wit, and the McCormick-Jacoby extended family providing maximum comedy, this series delivers all the humor and heart readers love from the Shopping universe – with a Highland twist. You don’t need to have read the previous Shopping books, but once you meet Hamish and Amy, you’ll want to.
