Kennedy Hellebore knows how to keep a secret. She’s been a witch-in-hiding her whole life. But when she moves to Edinburgh for a study-abroad program, the enchanting city seems to have plans of its own. Including magically bonding her to three unexpected new friends. Bennett MacKay never meant to run (literally) into his beautiful neighbor and would do anything to make it up to her. Lucky for him, she needs help with Edinburgh lore, and that's his specialty. Kennedy’s soon had enough of her gorgeous—and frustrating—Scottish neighbor, because Bennett can’t seem to help making a fool of himself as he tries to win over the grumpy beauty. She’s got enough to do without him making her already messy life messier. Romance isn’t the only magic brewing in the Edinburgh air and Kennedy needs to focus, but as they spend time researching the city’s history, she can’t help but be charmed as Bennett’s sunny personality slowly cracks through her walls. She’s spent her whole life hiding her powers, and her heart. He’s found out what happens when those you love most, leave you. Can they trust each other enough to risk their hearts? Or is the magic of love not strong enough? Practical Magic meets Charmed in this cozy fantasy romcom, full of sweetness, found family, laughter, love, and magical shenanigans. How Not to Hex a Gentleman is the first in a series of standalone romances set in Edinburgh, Scotland.
