Perfect for you if...

You love cosy fantasy with real emotional stakes, where the romance is secondary to watching someone finally learn to say no.
You're drawn to quirky found families and Scottish settings that feel lived-in and warm rather than twee.
You appreciate humour grounded in character rather than winking at the audience, and you don't mind magical stakes mixing with midlife reckoning.

Maybe not for you if...

You want epic world-building or high-stakes magical conflict. This is intimate and character-focused, not sweeping.
You need your romantic subplot to be the emotional core. Niki's relationship with herself and her newfound authority matters more than any love story.
You prefer straightforward contemporary fiction without paranormal elements. The magic and mythological beings are integral, not window dressing.

About this book

Niki McKnight has spent her adult life being bullied—first by her husband, then by her boss. Recently widowed, she seeks a major life change. When her grandmother leaves her a magical estate and a mysterious position as Recorder, Niki and her Bichon Frise, Tilly, travel to Scotland to claim the inheritance, uncertain what awaits them. In Gretna Green, they encounter a diverse group of characters: a sentient house, a talking cat, a Celtic God, a Fae King, and a questionable lawyer. Niki must learn to assert authority over Viking, Pict, and Fae royalty—a challenge for someone who never stood up to her husband or boss. Drawing on her family's psychic gift and magic, she works to meet this unexpected responsibility.
