A fake priest. A secret witch. A recipe for trouble. Lila Thorne is far too busy running her ex’s café – and dreaming up spells – to fangirl over celebrity chefs. But when she enters a TV baking contest, she comes face-to-face with the one man she refuses to drool over. Knox Sinclair, the nation’s favourite hot Scot priest, whips up complex creations on his popular show, Heavenly Delights. The collar is fake, but the ego isn’t, and he has little patience for amateurs who “just throw things together”. Lila refuses to be intimidated. Her rustic, instinctive style turns Knox’s perfectly controlled kitchen into chaos, and it infuriates him. Even worse, she makes him want things that have nothing to do with baking. However, as sparks fly – magical and otherwise – Knox begins to suspect there’s more to Lila than meets the eye. And when a spell backfires, forcing his own secret into the open, everything changes. Now the truth is out and the heat is rising in the kitchen, but is Lila ready for a different kind of temptation… and a confession of her own? If you love enemies-to-lovers banter, witchy magic, and The Great British Bake Off-style chaos, then you'll love Hexing the Hot Priest. Pre-order your copy today!
