Illegitimate yet thoroughly irresistible, the Renegade Royals are leaving behind their careers as daring spies for the greatest adventure of all…

After one escapade too many, Eden Whitney has been snubbed by the ton. The solution: rusticating in the Scottish wilderness, miles from all temptation. Except, of course, for brawny, charming Alasdair. The man is so exasperating she’d likely kill him before they reach the border—if someone else weren’t trying to do just that. Now Eden and Alasdair are plunging into a scandalous affair with his life and her reputation at stake—and their hearts already irreparably lost…

REVIEWS
“The pair is flirtatious, but the dialogue isn’t corny and over-the-top. Alec and Edie were a light-hearted and level-headed couple, while all of the surrounding characters, from Edie’s mother to Alec’s aunt, were crazy in their own special ways…I’ll definitely seek more of Kelly’s books in the future. Sweet and exciting How to Marry a Royal Highlander would make a spectacular addition to the historical romance-lover’s collection.” ~Manhattan Book Review, 4.5 stars
