Living on an island plagued by magic and mythical monsters isn't a fairy tale... it's a nightmare. After Keelynn witnesses her sister's murder at the hands of the legendary Gancanagh, an immortal creature who seduces women and kills them with a cursed kiss, she realizes there's nothing she wouldn't do to get her back. With the help of a vengeful witch, she's given everything she needs to resurrect the person she loves most. But first, she must slay the Gancanagh. Tadhg, a devilishly handsome half-fae who has no patience for high society-or propriety-would rather spend his time in the company of loose women and dark creatures than help a human kill one of his own. That is until Keelynn makes him an offer he can't refuse. Together, they embark on a cross-country curse-breaking mission that promises life but ends in death. A Cursed Kiss is the first book in the Myths of Airren series, an adult fantasy romance with morally gray fae and fated mates.

When Cora Dewitt encounters an unusual little girl, she never expects the seemingly lost child to lead her beyond state lines and into the path of sexy Scottish warlock Euann MacGregor. “An incredible talent… [Pillow] is not to be missed!” (New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter). Magic, Mischief & Kilts! A modern-day Scottish warlock paranormal romance by NYT Bestselling Author Michelle M. Pillow. Scottish Warlock Euann MacGregor may be the tech savvy one in his family, but when it comes to love, savvy doesn’t enter into the equation. So when he crosses paths, in the most unusual way, with a woman who holds an essential piece to a puzzle that has haunted the MacGregor family for decades, he’s torn between wanting answers and wanting her. Forces beyond his control have brought them together, but those same dangers might also be what tears them apart forever. From the Highlands of Scotland to the valleys of Wisconsin... Book Six of the Warlocks MacGregor® series by NY Times and USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow. “Michelle M. Pillow is an incredible talent! No matter the genre she writes, I'm captivated, enthralled and totally in love. She is not to be missed!" - Gena Showalter, New York Times bestselling author (2018) "Michelle M. Pillow weaves a story so engrossing that I lose track of time while reading and think about the characters long after I'm done." - Mandy M. Roth, New York Times bestselling author (2018) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About the Warlocks MacGregor® Series People know magic is fake--card tricks and illusions, magicians and entertainers. But there is an older magick, a powerful force hidden from modern eyes, buried in folklore and myths, remembered by the few who practice the old ways and respect the lessons of past generations. The term "warlock" is a variation on the Old English word waerloga, primarily used by the Scots. It meant traitor, monster or deceiver. This fiction-based family includes males and females of magick. The MacGregors do not agree with how history has labeled them, or other supernaturals. To them, warlock means magick, family, and immortality. This series is not a portrayal of modern-day witchcraft or those who hold such beliefs. The MacGregors are a magickal class all their own. Warning: Contains yummy, hot, mischievous MacGregors who are almost certainly up to no good on their quest to find true love. And Uncle Raibeart. Praise For Kisses and Curses 5 Stars! "The kilt-clad MacGregors are up to no good, and it's freaking awesome! LOVED THIS BOOK!" Robyn Peterman, NY Times & USA Today bestselling author of snarky, sexy, funny contemporaries and paranormals (2019) 5 Stars!
