Jilting The Kilt: A Small Town Scottish Romance Prequel

By Kait Nolan

Arranged marriages are so three centuries ago. But that doesn't stop Afton Lennox from being bound by one. All her life she's been pledged to wed Connor MacKean. It's the only way to save both their families' estates, and they're friends, after all, so it won't be that bad. Right?

Hamish Colquhoun has spent his entire adult life trying to find a way to liberate his best friend from a marriage he doesn't want. If it also spares the woman he's secretly loved for years, it's of no mind to him. He's already got a wife and family of his own. Freeing them both is just the right thing to do.

But with the wedding just days away, time is running short. Afton and Connor are prepared to do their duty, fulfilling the pact made by their long-dead ancestors. There's one option Hamish hasn't mentioned. It would only buy some time at best and risk everything at worst. But as Afton begins to question everything, Hamish finds he can't stay silent.

God save them all.

A Letter to Readers

Dear Reader,

If you’re coming to me from any of my other series, you might be a little confused about my jump to Scotland as the setting for the Kilted Hearts series. Scotland has always held a special place in my heart, as that’s where my forebears hail from, and I absolutely adored the time I spent there studying abroad in college. I always planned to go back in fiction and in life. The Kilted Hearts series is that fictional trip. I hope you fall in love with the village of Glenlaig and my cast of characters who are all impacted by the three-hundred-year-old marriage pact mentioned in this prequel.

As this is a prequel story, it necessarily ends on a massive cliffhanger that sets up for Book 1, Cowboy in a Kilt , which releases January 13th. You’ll note that particular book doesn’t follow Afton and Hamish. Rest assured, their time is coming, but there are a LOOOOOOT of other pieces that have to fall into place before they get their happily ever after. In the meantime, I hope you’ll come along for the ride.

Happy reading!

Kait
