Plot Overview: Under Loch and Key

Synopsis: Keyanna “Key” MacKay has enough on her plate without mysterious men complicating things. After losing her father, she journeys to Scotland to scatter his ashes in Loch Ness, honoring his final wish. Simple enough, right? Wrong.

For starters, her estranged grandparents are the warmest hosts this side of Antarctica. Her grandmother is holding onto grudges so tightly they could qualify for Olympic weightlifting. Her cousin Brodie seems nice, but nice in that “what are you hiding?” way. And then there’s Lachlan Greer. Handsome. Grumpy. Built like a Highland god. Lives in the guest cottage. Calls her an idiot at their very first meeting. Charming, isn’t he?

But wait—there’s more. The vibes between Key and Lachlan? Sparks? Flying faster than a Scottish rainstorm rolls in. So, what’s Lachlan’s deal? Why is he so determined to keep Key at arm’s length, even while their chemistry threatens to set the Highlands ablaze? Spoiler alert: it’s not because he’s just a moody farmhand. It might have a little something to do with his monster secret. Oh, Lachlan, you big softie in scaly disguise.

Key’s journey isn’t just about falling for a man with a complicated, curse-filled history. It’s also about family. Her father’s bedtime stories about a monster who saved his life weren’t just whimsical tales—they were rooted in truth, and untangling that truth leads Key deep into the folklore that binds their families. But ancestral curses aren’t her only problem. Did we mention she’s developing magical powers? Windows opening with a flick of her hand, fire conjuring from thin air—it’s a lot to handle when you’re already dealing with grumpy men and frosty grandmothers.

And just as Key and Lachlan begin to embrace their feelings and tackle the curse together, here comes the third-act conflict. You know the one—the classic “why didn’t you just say something?” drama that makes you want to shake both characters and scream, “Communicate, you fools!” Love stories wouldn’t be the same without some missteps along the way.
