Skye Bryher

My Alpha arranged my mating without asking. An ancient tradition offers one escape: steal a sacred stag from enemy territory.

The stag belongs to the cursed MacLeods of Glencoe. No trespasser has left their lands alive in two centuries.

I’d rather die free than live in a cage.

But their heir, Torin MacLeod, captures me instead—and his shadows recognise something in me they’ve never known. Peace.

For two centuries, his bloodline has been cursed with darkness that devours everyone they love. But when I’m near, it retreats.

My wolf knows what that means before I do: fated mates.

Now Torin’s father, Alpha Lachlan, is keeping me prisoner. Watching. Testing. He knows what I am to his son—and he knows I’m the key to breaking the curse or weaponising it.

I’m trapped between two impossible choices: escape and abandon my fated mate to the darkness that will consume him, or stay and let his father use our bond to destroy my pack.

In the Highlands, some bonds are forged in blood—and some curses can only be broken by it.

Perfect for readers who crave:

• Fated mates with impossible stakes
• Enemies-to-lovers tension
• Forbidden love across rival clans
• Highland shifter romance with ancient magic
• Protective, possessive alphas
• Steamy scenes with emotional depth

The Cursed Alpha is Book One in the Cursed Clans series—a dark, steamy Scottish Highland shifter romance. Intended for mature readers.

Written in British English—because this story is as Scottish as it gets.

A palm reading told me my fated mate lives on a remote Scottish island—shrouded in darkness I can’t see through.

So, I’m going undercover. Binding my wolf. Pretending to be human. Infiltrating Kintra Pack’s distillery to find him.

What I don’t expect is for my mate to be Alpha Auley—ruggedly gorgeous, carrying shadows he doesn’t understand, and teaching me to taste whisky like it’s foreplay.

But, with my wolf bound, he doesn’t recognise me. Can’t sense what we are. And every time he gets close, the dark magic punishes him—nosebleeds, headaches, and a compulsion to push me away.

Worse? I discover the dark magic is in Kintra’s whisky itself. Someone is poisoning my mate and controlling the entire pack through hexed whisky. Now I’m racing against the full moon to break the hex before the witch within Kintra Pack realises what I am—and eliminates the threat to her power.

In the Scottish Highlands, some curses are brewed in whisky—and the only thing strong enough to break it is your fated mate.

Perfect for readers who crave:

• Fated mates who can’t feel their bond
• Grumpy/sunshine workplace romance
• Small-town island setting with secrets
• Highland shifter romance with whisky magic
• Possessive alphas fighting dark compulsions
• Steamy scenes with emotional depth

The Hexed Alpha is Book Two in the Cursed Clans series—a dark, steamy Scottish Highland shifter romance. Intended for mature readers.

Written in British English—because this story is as Scottish as it gets.

I’m a gay shifter in a world built for fated mates—I made my peace with being the exception a long time ago. Then a seal on the Scottish shoreline shifts into a blue-skinned prince, and every quiet resignation I’ve built over twenty-eight years collapses in an instant.

Uisdean of the Minch is ancient, gorgeous, and… not free. For forty years, Siren King Muireach has held him enchanted in the depths—rewriting his heart so carefully that Uisdean would swear he stays by choice. I watch my mate flush cerulean every time he looks at me, yet disappear beneath the waves to another man. Every day the manufactured bond holds, I lose him a little more to a life that was never meant to be his.

So I do what any stubborn wolf shifter would do. I follow him to a folk festival on a Scottish island, scheme with my shifter-witch friends in a crumbling castle and do whatever it takes to make a siren prince remember what’s his.

I have a waterproofed camera, a wetsuit, and friends who’ve broken darker curses than this. Muireach has held him for forty years. But he hasn’t met me yet.

In Scotland’s depths, some enchantments are sung into the bone—and the only thing strong enough to answer them is your fated mate’s voice.

Perfect for readers who crave:

• LGBTQ+ fated mates
• Fake dating
• Love triangle
• Enchanted hero, determined rescuer
• Ancient siren magic and underwater Scotland
• Steamy scenes with emotional depth and found family

The Bound Prince is Book Three in the Cursed Clans series—a dark, steamy Scottish Highland shifter romance. Intended for mature readers.

Written in British English—because this story is as Scottish as it gets.

My job: portal to Canada and serve a cease-and-desist notice to a billionaire CEO to stop using Scottish shifter-witch magic powering his empire.

My problem: the billionaire, apparently, has more right than I anticipated, and is from a distant ancestral MacLeod bloodline. So instead, I’m staying put, to negotiate boundaries and regulations.

As if that isn’t complicated enough, Emrys controls the most powerful shifter company in Canada, but has never once shifted.

With boardroom stand-offs, remote site visits, and negotiations that run well past midnight, both our tempers are simmering. Something between us is about to boil over — and it isn’t just anger.

It’s only when matter overrules mind — when we make the spectacularly foolish decision to give in to temptation — that physical proximity tells me the truth. Emrys is so much more than a corporate arsehole. He’s my corporate arsehole. My fated mate.

But Emrys, without ever having run into his wolf, has no idea. His brother has noticed — and I’m starting to think not everyone in this pack wants Emrys to discover what he is.

Because it’s not just desire that’s underneath that corporate armour. Something ancient, held under thirty years of pressure, is about to be awakened by the mate bond.

And when Emrys’s dragon finally breaks the surface — I am the only person able to regulate such ancient power. And I learn: some power isn’t meant to be regulated, and some fires only answer to their fated mate.

Between Scotland’s highlands and Canada’s wilds, some magic doesn’t recognise borders — and some dragons have been waiting three centuries to come home.

Perfect for readers who crave:

• CEO bosshole who can’t stop watching you
• Fated mates — one who knows, one who doesn’t
• Magic regulation vs ancient bloodlines
• Never-shifted dragon awakened by love
• Steamy MM slow burn
