Under Loch and Key

By: Lana Ferguson

Narrated by: Samantha Summers, Flint Park

A USA Today Bestseller

A woman discovers that not all monsters are her enemy—the opposite, in fact—in this new paranormal romance by Lana Ferguson, author of The Fake Mate.

Keyanna “Key” MacKay is used to secrets. Raised by a single father who never divulged his past, it’s only after his death that she finds herself thrust into the world he’d always refused to speak of. With just a childhood bedtime story about a monster that saved her father’s life and the name of her estranged grandmother to go off of, Key has no idea what she’ll find in Scotland. But repeating her father’s mistakes and being rescued by a gorgeous, angry Scotsman—who thinks she’s an idiot—is definitely the last thing she expects.

Lachlan Greer has his own secrets to keep, especially from the bonnie lass he pulls to safety from the slippery shore—a lass with captivating eyes and the last name he’s been taught not to trust. He’s looking for answers as well, and Key’s presence on the grounds they both now occupy presents a real problem. It’s even more troublesome when he gets a front row seat to the lukewarm welcome Key receives from her family; the strange powers she begins to develop; and the fierce determination she brings to every obstacle in her path. Things he shouldn’t care about, and someone he definitely doesn’t find wildly attractive.

When their secrets collide, it becomes clear that Lachlan could hold the answers Keyanna is after—and that she might also be the key to uncovering his. Up against time, mystery, and a centuries old curse, they’ll quickly discover that magic might not only be in fairy tales, and that love can be a real loch-mess.

Critic reviews

"When Lana Ferguson said she was going to write a book about the Loch Ness Monster, I had no idea what I was in for. I should have known it would include a funny, relatable heroine, copious amounts of spice, and the sexiest hero that ever graced a kilt. You WANT to read this!"—Ruby Dixon, USA Today bestseller

"Under Loch and Key is Lana at the top of her game. Unique, atmospheric, playful and so hot you'll be looking for the nearest loch to cool off in, her books are everything I'm happy to reach for time and time again."—Tarah DeWitt, USA Today bestselling author of Savor It

"Ferguson puts her own ingeniously clever and wonderfully whimsical spin on the Loch Ness monster legend and the Scottish romance with a delightful rom-com that delivers plenty of cheeky banter and heartfelt musings on the importance of family as well as love scenes hot enough to warm up the coldest Scottish loch."—Booklist

Ugh Lachlan

I loved Keys and Lachlans story so much. This was such a fun story with so many real world emotions. I loved the imperfect characters and their development. Such a unique twist on the Loch Ness monster and the spice was spicy 🌶️

A Fantasy Story told by excellent narrators

A fair plot but a little too unbelievable. The sex was “hot” but maybe that too was a little past my comfort

A sassy steamy romance!

Ugh I am such a sucker for the bickering turned obsessed! This book kept me hooked from the first page and I loved the magic aspect! Definitely pick this up!
