About The Book

From the New York Times bestselling author Tricia O’Malley, a cosy bewitching romance about a Scottish witch returning to her ancestral village to break a family curse - only to clash with one stubborn warlock determined to protect his town from her haywire magic.

After a chaotic childhood in Briarhaven - Scotland’s most magical small town - Sloane MacGregor and her two sisters have spent years trying to tame their witchy side. But with Sloane’s twenty-fifth birthday looming - the day when all witches come into their magic - she is summoned home by her grandmother for one tiny task: break the centuries-old curse haunting the MacGregor bloodline. Reluctantly back in a town full of painful memories, Sloane barely has time to unpack before she’s met with one very handsome and very irritated neighbor.

Knox Douglas, mayor of Briarhaven and all-around grumpy Scotsman, is way too charming for his own good. Knox has worked tirelessly to make his town a haven for magical folks to live safely in the open. The last thing he needs is the cursed MacGregor witches ruining it all. It hardly matters that he crushed on Sloane back in high school. For the sake of Briarhaven, the MacGregors must leave - even if it means throwing Sloane over his shoulder and dragging her out himself.

As Sloane’s magic spirals out of control and the curse threatens the entire town, she and Knox are forced to team up, their clashing wills igniting sparks that might just prove that in Briarhaven, love reallyis a witch.
