Just a Highland Fling
New ReleaseNATIONAL BESTSELLER • Sparks fly on a road trip through the Scottish highlands in this delightful forced proximity romance from the author of Flirting With Disaster.
“It’s the classic setup where two strangers bond through a shared crisis, and it works especially well when it’s handled with this much delicacy and depth. . . . None of it is easily fixed, all of it feels worth struggling for and the sense of catharsis at the end is marvelous.”—The New York Times Book Review (Most Anticipated Romance Novels)
Neelu Pillai makes a last-minute decision to fly to Scotland for her estranged father’s wedding with one goal: to get through it with as little conflict as possible. But when her tipsy tirade at the rehearsal dinner is the reason her father gets left at the altar, she agrees to help him track down his runaway bride.
There’s just one problem: The third member of this road trip through the highlands is Jacob, the hot desi bagpiper from the wedding who just happens to be Neelu’s recent one-night stand. They couldn’t keep their hands off each other a few nights ago, but now he can’t seem to stand her.
Their journey to Skye is certainly not smooth, but as the two work together through the obstacles, doing their best to reunite Neelu’s father with his bride, they realize that there’s more to each other than meets the eye. And that the electric connection they’d felt the night they met is still as strong as ever. . . .
Fiery first impressions, fierce clashes, and undeniable chemistry make for a bumpy ride through the Highlands in this swoony, witty romance about family, forgiveness, and finding love where you least expect it.

Naina Kumar's best (and horniest) book yet! The chemistry between Neelu and Jacob made me giddy from the very beginning of this book- Jacob is PEAK fictional man, he goes to therapy, writes poetry, and even wears slutty little glasses. If you're also into men in kilts, you're absolutely done for. Naina writes real, nuanced characters so well. They always feel fully fleshed out- complete with trauma and backstories that shape who they are and how they react. This book made me laugh out loud and cry tears of both joy and sadness. I loved every minute of it. Thanks so much to Dell for this eARC!!
