Wild Scottish Magic by Tricia O'Malley is a charming and magical Scottish romantasy that blends humor, romance, mystery, and enchanting folklore. After a public WitchTok disaster leaves her branded as the “Heartbreak Witch,” Liora escapes back to the mystical village of Loren Brae hoping for a fresh start.
While reconnecting with her family and uncovering her grandmother’s hidden grimoire, she begins to realize that the answers to her troubled magic may have been buried for years. Things grow even more complicated when a spell accidentally binds Torin, the gruff forester whose heart she once broke, to complete honesty. Forced into a fake relationship under the curious eyes of the village, Liora and Torin slowly rediscover the chemistry they never truly lost. As ancient forces stir and dangerous Kelpies draw closer, Liora must confront her fears, reclaim her magic, and decide whether love deserves a second chance.
