A woman seems to be simply lying on a beach, taking in the sun, and enjoying a summer day, but the story goes deeper and uncovers what may seem both disturbing and typical at once.
In the arcane apothecary of Elixirion, where potions simmer with stolen kisses and rogue spellbreakers shatter spells with thief's cunning, alchemist Mira brews an elixir for breaker Jax, whose kiss-stealing lips cure her bound magic. Their simmering, vialed in potion vows, cures the heart—or poisons it with addictive brews. As they stir through glow-lit labs and kiss-haunted vaults, raided by potion rivals and curse menders, Mira's alchemical brew merges with Jax's rogue shatter, revealing a potion legend of kissed cure. When a spilled vial unleashes mutation mists, they must kiss the simmer to distill the antidote. In the bubble of arcane elixirs, where every kiss infuses desire and every potion heals the soul's fracture, their love becomes the brew that frees the enchanted.Show book

You sense it, don’t you?” For Lord Anthony Hetheridge, this wet April should be full of promise. His wife, Kate, is on bedrest for her final month of pregnancy, and his friend DI Deepal "Paul" Bhar's firstborn, a darling baby girl, has already arrived. Wellegrave House is restored and the Hetheridges are back where they belong, in the heart of Mayfair. But inside Scotland Yard, the institution Tony served for so many years, something is very wrong. When the body of Tony's former protege, DC Amelia Gulls, is found murdered in her flat, suspicion immediately falls on her boyfriend, DC Sean Kincaid. And when Paul calls in Tony to assist with the investigation, they turn up more questions than answers. Before her death, Gulls was working on three cold cases: a kept woman hurled out the window of her fourth-floor love nest, a uni student who drowned in the Thames, and a retired detective’s drug-addicted son found dead under a tree. As Tony probes these seemingly unsolvable cases, he draws closer to a shocking truth--and a dangerous reckoning. UNTRUE BLUE is the seventh book in the ongoing Lord & Lady Hetheridge Mystery Series.
