About the book
Robin Blyth already has too much on his plate. Baronetcy, bureaucracy, and grief are enough trouble without being accidentally assigned to liaise with a secret magical society.
Now he’s cursed, confused, and completely out of his depth. Worse, he’s stuck with Edwin Courcey—a brilliant but icy magician who would clearly prefer a different partner. But when Robin’s predecessor vanishes under suspicious circumstances, the two must work together to unravel a conspiracy threatening all of magical Britain.
As hidden histories surface and a powerful curse takes hold, Robin and Edwin find themselves tangled in a bond that neither expected.
In Edwardian England, magic is deadly, secrets are currency, and love might just be the most dangerous enchantment of all.

As Alex begins to question the lies around her and uncovers the truth behind what really happened, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to reclaim her voice.
In a world terrified of female power, what happens when women finally take flight?

About the book
Margaret Dunhaven is not impressed by her vampire husband. Trapped in a cursed manor to fulfill a ridiculous family obligation, she’s ready to escape—if only the tea weren’t so terrible.
But when she discovers that Lord Shadowcroft was just as tricked into this marriage as she was, Margaret decides escape might require collaboration. She brings the research skills. He brings centuries of undead knowledge. Together, they might just reclaim her stolen inheritance, break his ancient curse, and undo the magical binding that wed them in the first place.
That is, if they can stop bickering long enough to get anything done.
This sharp and romantic gothic fantasy reimagines Beauty and the Beast in a tea-stained, alternate-history England where love is inconvenient, undead, and possibly inevitable.

About the book
Against the backdrop of 1920s Hollywood, a young fairy godmother on a mission is embroiled in malicious magic, mystery, and murder in a thrilling historical fantasy by the bestselling author of The Vine Witch.
Celeste is about to become one of the thirteen Fées Gardiennes, a centuries-old sisterhood of fairy godmothers. To be granted full status, she must usher her first protégé onto their path of destiny. Where better to find a starry-eyed ward than in the land of magic and illusion called Hollywood?
It’s 1927. The moviemaking business is booming when Celeste befriends a young studio seamstress whose dreams outshine everyone else’s. Rose is talented and underappreciated and could use some enchanted intervention in her life. Plans proceed swimmingly, and Celeste even catches the eye of a handsome producer. But after a series of unexplained accidents on the studio lot stir up rumors of a curse, Celeste fears the trouble is more personal—the spiteful meddling of a fellow Gardienne out to thwart Celeste’s success.
But the sabotage turns sinister when a starlet is murdered and it’s Rose who stands accused. As vengeance, dark magic, and betrayal wreak havoc, Celeste must come into her full power to save her innocent protégé and secure her own future in a cherished, ancient, and now threatened sisterhood.

About the book
New York, 1925. The jazz is hot, the relics are cursed, and Rory Brodigan’s heart is in more danger than ever.
Since meeting Arthur Kenzie, Rory’s quiet life has turned into a whirlwind of magical artifacts, deadly secrets, and forbidden feelings. Arthur is brave, charming, and undeniably out of Rory’s league, or so Rory fears, especially with Arthur’s aristocratic ex suddenly stirring up old ghosts.
But when a ruthless paranormal faction threatens the city, Arthur and Rory’s fragile romance is put to the test. Their bond is powerful, but trust doesn’t come easy, especially when the past returns with claws.
As darkness rises, the stakes couldn’t be higher. If they can’t hold their ground together, they might lose more than their magic.
