Opposites attract in this modern-day fairytale when American, Sophie MacKnight, inherits a Scottish castle along with a hot grumpy Scotsman who is tasked with training her to be a magickal knight before the Kelpies wreak havoc on the people of Loren Brae.The knight was supposed to be a man.Not me, Sophie MacKnight, a marketing associate from California.This must be a practical joke that the Scots play on visiting Americans. Because otherwise I've inherited a haunted castle in Scotland, along with one irritatingly sexy Scotsman, who would be delighted if I turned tail and ran.Frankly, I thought I would fly here, sell the heap of bricks, and head back home to a life that I...well, I was comfortable with at the very least. Instead, the people of Loren Brae are in trouble, and it appears that as the new owner of the castle, I'm next in line to reinstate the magickal Order of Caledonia. Which means, first, I have to learn to believe in magick. And secondly, I have to train to become a knight.And my trainer? None other than Lachlan Campbell, the grumpiest man I've ever had the annoyance of meeting. It's a toss-up who is pricklier, Lachlan, or his kilted Chihuahua, Sir Buster. Not only does Lachlan think that I can't hack it, but he also resents my claim on his castle.If only he didn't look so devastatingly hot in his kilt.Now, I'm stuck proving myself to him, all while trying to figure out how to help my new friends in Loren Brae.Sparks fly as our swords meet, and we battle our rising attraction for each other.Who will win in this (Highland) game of love?

NY Times & USA Today bestselling author, Tricia O'Malley's latest romance is a funny and heart-pounding story where booking a one-way ticket to paradise means starting over, letting go, and taking a chance on love...one more time.When Paige Lowry discovers her boyfriend and boss, owner of Yoga Soulone studio, has decided her chakras need realignment in the form of inviting several bendy yoga instructors into their bed - she realizes it's time to smack him with her yoga mat and namaste away. When she calls to cancel the studio's upcoming Caribbean retreat, the last thing Paige expects is to be offered a job. What better way to give the middle finger to her old life than to hightail it to a tropical island to work at a fancy resort?But all signs point to an impulsive mistake when she arrives at the dusty airport on Poco Poco Island and nobody is there to pick her up. The alcoholic owners don't remember hiring her, the skeleton-staff barely holds the hotel together, and the moody yet gorgeous manager, Jack Byron, seems irritated with her very existence. Things go from bad to worse when Paige learns that her ex and his flexible mistresses are arriving in three days for the retreat she thought she had canceled.Caught in the eye of the storm and her growing attraction to her new boss (been there, done that, didn't turn out well), Paige must scramble to prove she can run this upcoming retreat with no disasters. But even she can't be blamed for the hurricane that swerves left and suddenly has the tiny island in its sights. As tensions explode at Tranquila Inn, Paige learns that taking it poco poco might be the only way she'll survive.
