    Roger not only had to prove himself to the Council, he also had to prove himself to Wyndham Wrenwhistle. 
    Fae and humans alike are returning to London for the Season, but the excitement is marred by the growing poverty rate among humans with low magical scores. 
    Tenacious Roger Barnes proposes a new rubric for testing magic to the Council, hoping to resolve the predicament for his fellow humans. But when he is paired with Wyndham Wrenwhistle, a dashing fae who has disliked him since childhood, the project seems destined to fail. Even after reaching a tentative truce, their fragile partnership crumbles due to malicious lies. 
    Adding to the disarray, a popular gossip column unexpectedly announces that Roger and Wyn are engaged. Obliged to go along with the falsehood to save their families from scandal, they are forced to reconcile their differences for the sake of the rubric — and for their impending marriage. As the project bleeds into their wedding plans, the pressure to flawlessly execute both mounts even higher. 
    Together, they have the chance to solve a crisis decades in the making — but they'll need more than magic to succeed.

    Little information survives on Catherine’s life. 
     
    She was born Amy Catherine Robbins in 1872. 
     
    In about 1892 she was a student in a biology cramming class where the teacher was H G Wells.  Though married he was quickly attracted to his student and within a short time they were living together in Woking, Surrey.  He then divorced his first wife and married Catherine in October 1895 at St Pancras registery office. 
       
    In the early years they were poor to the point that they could not afford to start a family.  When they did they had two children; Philip in 1901 and Frank two years later. 
     
    For much of her life she seemed to pursue other interests, being a mother, a gardener, running much of her husband’s business affairs and this seemed to leave little time for her own literary pursuits.  She published little during her lifetime apart from a few poems and some short stories.  Indeed her prodigiously talented husband even referred to her as ‘Jane’ and soon all around her did too, her writing life seemingly in another personality far, far away.   
     
    By the mid 20’s she was ill with cancer and succumbed to its advance in 1927. 
     
    Wells, although wayward and promiscuous during much of the marriage, now attempted to put his wife’s literary merits into book form and published ‘The Book of Catherine Wells’, a collection of short stories and poems.

    A feel-good, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy. 
    Tall, dark, and handsome. That’s what I think the first time I see Rupert Evans in the library. 
    But then I find out he is the developer who just sent my community garden a cease-and-desist letter because he plans to raze the garden and construct some towering monstrosity there. 
    The only one who is going to cease and desist is him. That community garden is my found family. 
    But then he asks me out at book club night. 
    Suspicious, right? 
    I’m attractive, but I’m not the type hot bachelors are lining up around the block to ask out. Let’s be real. I’m still in the brunch date spot with my next-door neighbor after a year of my pursuing him. 
    Rupert is trying to butter me up and lead me down the garden path so I'll concede. Never. 
    He has no idea what we’re planning to do to stop him. Our little community group may look like a bunch of frail roses, but we’ve got thorns. As long as I weed out these pesky feelings for him, I know we can win. But will I lose my heart? 
    *The romcom books in this series are interconnected closed door romantic comedy standalones set in the same world in New York City. Each can be read as a pure standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after.
