Synopsis
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 fake dating, grumpy/sunshine sparks, a he-can't-lie curse, meddling villagers, sisterly stakes, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
