An unexpected inheritance has gifted me with the dream of a lifetime - owning a charming bookshop in small-town Scotland. Little did I know this gift comes with a surprise - Highland Hearts bookshop has been running an underground magical matchmaking service - and as new owner of the shop, I am expected to deliver on these matches.
