    She prowls the shadowy paths as something ancient and terrifying—a protector the likes of which neither world has seen. Yet every transformation risks exposing her true nature to her newfound family, and the darker truth of why she's really the last Leshbolg alive. 
     
     
     
    Can Merritt protect both worlds without losing control of her devastating powers? Or will saving innocent lives mean sacrificing the first place that's ever felt like home—and the chosen family she's always dreamed of?

    Narrated by Mara Wilson 
    Set in the early 1990s, the long-awaited tenth novel in Armistead Maupin’s beloved and enduring Tales of the City series follows the adventures of Mona Ramsey, now the widowed Lady of a glorious old manor in Britain’s golden Cotswolds, and her fabulous adopted son Wilfred, as they come to the aid of an American visitor with a troubling secret. 
    When Mona Ramsey married Lord Teddy Roughton to secure his visa—allowing him to remain in San Francisco to fulfill his wildest dreams—she never imagined she would, by age 48, be the sole owner of Easley House, Teddy’s grand, romantic country manor in the UK. She also didn't imagine that she’d need to open the manor’s doors to paying guests to afford the electric bill and repair the leaking roof. Yet somehow she and her young friend Wilfred--whom guests assume is serving as Easley’s charming-but-clumsy butler--and the loopy old gardener Mr. Hargis, are making it work. 
    This delicate equilibrium is upended when Americans Rhonda and Ernie Blaylock arrive for a weekend vacation at Easley, and Wilfred stumbles onto their terrible secret. Now, instead of being able to focus on the imminent arrival of her old friend Michael Tolliver and beloved parent Anna Madrigal, Mona will need to focus all of her considerable charm, willpower, and wiles—and the help of Wilfred and Mona’s girlfriend Poppy, the town’s postmistress and local calligraphy whiz—to set things right before the Midsummer ceremony when the whole town will descend on Easley’s historic grounds.

Back home—with her business hat firmly back on—she's determined to get her hands on Midsummer House, a beautiful old Victorian mansion and the perfect flagship property for her holiday business. She'll do whatever it takes, even if it means giving in to the owner's eccentric request that she house-sit for three months before she'll agree to the sale. 
     
     
     
    High-flying city trader Rob Jones is at an unexpected loose end when his long-lost aunt Frances calls looking for some advice about selling her property.

Rob realizes that Charlotte is determined nobody should know what happened between them in the city—but with the undeniable attraction between them, how easy will it be? As the village of Applemore casts a welcoming spell on Rob, he starts to wonder if he's got his priorities in life all wrong . . . but if he stays, where does that leave Charlotte's plans for Midsummer House?
