HOPELESSLY ENCHANTED


Return to Culloden Moor Book 8



Her candles keep exploding.

He can’t stop watching.

Gwen Bishop comes from seven generations of Salem witches—and she might be the first to fail the family legacy. With Samhain days away and her protection charms misfiring like festive grenades, she’s running out of time to prove she’s worthy of the ancestors watching from beyond the veil.

The last thing she needs is another academic treating her traditions like a curiosity. She’s lived that story before, and it did not end well.

Especially not a devastatingly serious Scottish author who doesn’t believe in magic—yet can’t seem to stop watching her.

He came to Herrick House for research.

He stayed because of her.

Bestselling author Forbes MacLeod believes in history, facts, and professional distance. But from the moment he arrives at the MacBean family’s bed-and-breakfast, something about Gwen Bishop makes distance impossible.

He finds himself watching her when he should be taking notes.

Defending her work before he’s even admitted he likes her.

Moving toward her disasters instead of away—

and losing every argument with his own heartbeat.

And when her candle explodes in a shower of orange wax, Forbes doesn’t flinch. He steps between her and the flames, catches her arm, and tells her she’s extraordinary.

And means it.

She’s all warmth and chaos.

He’s all walls and storm clouds—with gold underneath.

But something ancient is stirring beneath Salem this Samhain. The veil is thinning, and the darkness that destroyed this town three centuries ago is pushing through. Gwen’s untameable magic may be the only thing that can stop it—if she can finally believe she’s enough.

And Forbes must decide if he’s willing to trust what he can’t explain.

To stand beside a woman the world would call impossible.

To risk his carefully guarded heart on something that looks a lot like fate.

Just belief.

Just courage.

Just her.


A cozy, swoony autumn romance where Highland skepticism meets Salem magic, October winds carry secrets, and two hearts discover they’re hopelessly, completely enchanted—with each other.


Perfect for readers who love witchy small towns, swoony Scottish heroes, magical realism, and cozy paranormal romance with a spark of real magic.


Return to Herrick House and catch up with Alan, Lilith, and the MacBean family—seven years after their own magical beginning… and meet the witch and the scholar who change everything next.
