Retailer Description:
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. :)

Teaser Excerpt:
Love
isn’t a football game.
It’s
a feeling.
A
feeling that uses instinct as a tool.
I’m
smarter than this. When everything felt off, I should have known that it was
off for a reason.
“Jody,”
I say softly, “I canna do this.”
“Of
course you can. You just have the jitters. Amy’s a wonderful woman and–”
“I dinna
mean the proposin’ part. That’s fine. I can do that. I mean doin’ it on the
pitch.”
His turn
to go green.
“You
want to cancel the proposal?”
“Aye.
Nae. No’ the proposin’. The doin’ it in public part. I love Amy wi’ all ma body
and soul.” I frown. “She’d hate to hear me say it that way. Soul and body.” I
wink at Jody. “But it’s really the other way around. Ma body knows more than ma
mind.”
“I don’t
need to hear every thought that pops into your head, Hamish.”
“I only
tell ye the important ones.”
“Like
not wanting the big spectacle we arranged for you?”
“I’m
tellin’ ye now, aren’t I?”
“We have
extra cameramen here for this. Your parents and siblings are in the crowd.
Declan and Andrew McCormick are here. We doubled the security.”
“Is this
about money? I can pay for all that.”
“It’s
not–well, yes, some of it is about the money. But it’s more about publicity and
planning. A lot of people put forth a huge effort to make today special for you
and Amy.”
“And
forty thousand of ma closest fans.”
He
closes his eyes and sighs through his nose. “A better time to realize this
would have been weeks ago. Not a huge US exhibition game.”
“Ma
instincts told me then that this was right. Now ma gut says something else. It
all feels off.”
“Your
gut.”
I pat my
flat stomach. “It’s gotten me this far in life. Good gut.”
He's
right. I know how much work all the coaches, teammates, stadium staff and
administrators, sponsors–hell, even the car park attendants–have put into
helping me today. I don't have cold feet, and I love Amy to the moon and back,
but something feels wrong.
As Amy
says, hinky.
I can't
explain it. If I had words for it, I'd use them. It's a feeling, and those
don't always line up nice and neat in words that make sense.
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.

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.
