She’s out of second chances.
He’s out of patience.
And in Loren Brae, the truth never stays buried.

After a WitchTok fiasco brands her the Heartbreak Witch, Liora flees home to lick her wounds. But when she uncovers her Gran’s grimoire, the secrets inside may explain everything she’s ever gotten wrong about her magick.

Enter Torin, the gruff forester whose relationship she once destroyed. A miscast spell binds him to honesty, making it impossible for him to lie. With the town watching their every move, a fake relationship seems like the only way to keep questions at bay. Except Torin’s unfiltered truths cut straight to Liora’s heart.

Now, as the constellations shift and the Kelpies close in, Liora must decide – stitch a new future with the man who cannot lie – or lose her magick for good.

🔥 A cozy Scottish romantasy with grumpy/sunshine sparks, a he-can’t-lie curse, meddling villagers, sisterly stakes, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. 🔥

From New York Times bestselling author Tricia O’Malley, Charmed meets The Pumpkin Spice Café in this cozy romantasy about a witch returning to Scotland to break a family curse—only to clash with one grumpy Scotsman determined to protect his town from her haywire magic.

She’s hexed. He’s vexed. And for Scotland’s most magical small-town, their feud might just spell disaster.

Sloane MacGregor swore she’d never return to Briarhaven, but with her twenty-fifth birthday looming—the day witches come into their magic—her grandmother summons her and her sisters back for one tiny task: break the centuries-old curse haunting their bloodline.

Knox Douglas, Briarhaven’s grumpy mayor, has worked tirelessly to make his town a haven for magical folk. The last thing he needs is a cursed MacGregor wreaking havoc. It doesn’t matter he once crushed on her. For the sake of Briarhaven, Sloane has to go.

But magic has other plans—and in Briarhaven, love really is a witch.
