Wild Scottish Gold — Tricia O'Malley

She was forged in heat, and he was the hammer that struck too close to her heart.Kaia Bissett came to Scotland for a fresh start. No entanglements. No mistakes. No mixing business with pleasure. But one impulsive, scorching night with a stranger shatters that promise-especially when the stranger turns out to be Thane Blackwood. Her new landlord, and apparently, her biggest rival.Thane built his empire with his own hands. His forge. His rules. He has no room for distractions-especially not Kaia, the fiery metalsmith who refuses to back down. When she lands a commission for the grand iron gates at Common Gin, he steps into the ring, determined to beat her. Sparks fly-on the anvil and off.But Kaia's past isn't done with her. She's heir to an ancient order, bound to protect Loren Brae from the Kelpies that stalk its waters. Magick stirs in her blood, wild and untamed. And Thane? He won't let her fight alone.Steel clashes. Desire burns. But can they forge something stronger, or will the fire consume them both?
