Medium blurb (45 words/ 254 characters)

Standard Blurb (153 words/ 829 characters)
Zoe’s always played it safe, just as her parents wanted. But when her great-uncle dies and leaves her a ramshackle cabin in the Scottish Highlands, she decides it’s time to change her life.
Upping sticks seems like a good idea in her cosy London flat, but the reality is very different. There’s no electricity or running water, the roof leaks and there’s no front door. If that wasn’t bad enough, she’s moved up in the depths of winter and her scorching hot neighbour wants her out.
Rory’s got a fifty thousand tonne problem. If he can’t make Kinloch castle profitable, he’s out of a job. He needs a clear head, but there’s someone living in the cabin he saw as his own and she’s turned his world upside down.
Rory needs Zoe out of Scotland, and out of his life. The trouble is, she has no intention of leaving.

♥♥♥ Praise for Highland Games ♥♥♥
★★★★★ ‘A hilariously funny and sizzlingly sexy romp in the Scottish Highlands. This book had me crying with laughter and begging for more…’ Margaret Amatt, author of The Scottish Island Escapes series
★★★★★ ‘Is there a reason you’re just discovering Evie Alexander? Where have you been?! Evie’s writing crackles and pops with the most delightful characters and wit. And don’t get me started on the steam! I can NOT wait until the next book.’ Kelly Kay, author of The Five Families Vineyard series
★★★★★ ‘A fantastic, funny and oh so sexy story, full of Highland mischief and romance!’ Julia Jarrett, author of The Dogwood Cove series
★★★★★ ‘This book is bloody brilliant. It’s snortingly funny, honest, page turning and downright fabulous. As soon as the book starts you know you are in a safe pair of hands. The writing is tender and intelligent and moves quickly to engaging and provoking. I was hooked.
Zoe, Rory and all the characters are one hundred percent believable. The plot itself is a hoot and at no point is Zoe the helpless victim waiting to be rescued, no matter how many screw-ups she gets herself into. Even when she does have to be rescued, she turns it to her own advantage.
Highland Games has smoking sex scenes, and I mean the pages were on fire, but they are also fun. Evie Alexander writes sex like it’s fun and joyous and bouncy. Imagine two otters having the time of their lives in a bowl of trifle. If this isn’t the best rom com of the year then I don’t know what is.’ Liz Hurley, author of The Hiverton Sisters series
Excerpts
Permission is given to reproduce in part or whole the contents of each of these excerpts only in the capacity of promoting Highland Games, The Kinloch Series and/or Evie Alexander. All credits must be associated to Evie Alexander.
In this excerpt we discover that Zoe’s always played it safe, just as her parents wanted. But when her great-uncle dies and leaves her a ramshackle cabin in the Scottish Highlands, she decides it’s time to change her life.
Upping sticks seems like a good idea in her cosy flat in London, but the reality is very different. There’s no electricity or running water, the roof leaks and there’s no front door. If that wasn’t bad enough, she’s moved up in the depths of winter and her scorching hot neighbour wants her out.
Will Zoe be able to stick it out long enough to create the new life she’s dreamed of?
Let the games begin…
What do you do when you find thirty tonnes of shag pile carpet knocking at your front door?
This steamy romantic comedy is the first book in the Kinloch series. I’m thrilled to bring you this excerpt where Zoe is visited by some unexpected guests…
If you’re looking for a romance novel with a fiery heroine, a Scottish god, a cabin, a castle, and enough heat to warm the coldest Scottish winter, then Highland Games is for you. With a supporting cast of two and four legged friends, you’ll be laughing, swooning, and cheering for more.
I’m thrilled to bring you this excerpt where Zoe goes looking for wood, and encounters Thor’s grumpier, and better looking brother.
Highland Games opens with Zoe moving up to Scotland, hopelessly unprepared for what she finds, and without having thought anything through. She may love her memories of Highland life, but the cabin she’s now living in, is a wooden colander, and the roof is alive.
Her first priority is to buy wood for the Rayburn stove so she can keep warm and eat. She’s directed to find Rory who will ‘sort her out’. However, when she meets him, she doesn’t create the best impression, nor get the reception she was hoping for…
