A Highlander Walks Into a Bar answers the age-
old question: What would you do if your mother brought home a handsome six-foot tall
Scotsman as a souvenir? (You thought I was going with, What does a Scotsman wear under his
kilt, didnโt you? ☺)
Our heroine, Isabel Buchanan, tries to her suspicions the
man is planning to take advantage of her mother, because she has bigger problems. The
annual Highland Festival is only three weeks away and she and her mother are in charge!
Enter Alasdair Blackmoor, another handsome Scot who
harbors his own suspicions about Isabel and her motherโs intentions with his uncle. Hilarity
(and passion) ensues as Isabel and Alasdair spar and try to ferret out the truth.
A Highlander Walks Into a Bar is a wild romp
during a Georgia summer. I dare you to name a more Southern and summery dessert than a
blackberry cobbler. This easy, delicious twist on a traditional cobbler is made in a cast iron
skillet!

Highland, GA #1
The timeless romance, soaring passionโand gorgeous menโof Scotland comes to
modern-day America. And the rules of love will never be the sameโฆ
A brand new series from Laura Trentham, full of love, laughs...and highlanders!
Isabel Buchanan is fiery, funny, and never at a loss for words. But she is struck speechless
when her mother returns from a trip to Scotland with a six-foot-tall, very handsome souvenir.
Izzy's mother is so infatuated by the fellow that Izzy has to plan their annual Highland Games
all by herself. Well, not completely by herself. The Highlander's strapping young nephew has
come looking for his uncleโฆ
Alasdair Blackmoor has never seen a place as friendly as this small Georgia townโor a girl as
brilliant and beguiling as Izzy. Instead of saving his uncle, who seems to be having a lovely
time, Alasdair decides he'd rather help Izzy with the Highland Games. Show her how to dance
like a Highlander. Drink like a Highlander. And maybe, just maybe, fall in love with a
Highlander. But when the games are over, where do they go from here?

contemporary romances that are a little dark, a little funny, and a whole lot of sexy.
