Three warriors. Three wishes. One woman who refuses to fall for the magic. Declan of Clan MacCrone made a wish, an arrogant one, he admits. He wanted women to fall at his feet. The wish was granted… quite literally. Now, wherever he goes, women faint. Trip. Collapse. It’s a spectacle that’s followed him across the Highlands and one his clan could no longer tolerate. Sent to lead a struggling village in need of a chieftain, Declan hopes to escape the worst of the curse. Instead, he meets Aura. A woman who doesn’t swoon. Aura is practical, sharp-minded, and far more interested in plants than men. She doesn’t have time for cursed warriors or the strange pull she feels toward the infuriatingly handsome chieftain. But when danger strikes, and rumors swirl, a marriage of convenience becomes the safest path forward, for the village and for themselves. What begins as a logical arrangement quickly tangles into something neither expected. And as the mystery deepens—an abduction attempt, a whisper of dark magic, a past neither fully understands—Declan realizes that Aura may be the key to unraveling his curse… if he doesn’t lose her first. Because in the Highlands, love is rarely simple, and every wish has its price.
