Synopsis

A charming Yuletide romance painted with gorgeous Regency detail.   Elizabeth Gore-Langton was hardly in a position to refuse accompanying Lady Astley to the Christmas party at Stenton Castle. After all, a paid companion must follow her employer’s wishes. It scarcely mattered that Elizabeth would be forced to face the man who had unknowingly broken her heart years ago during her first season. Most likely, the Duke of Stenton wouldn’t even recognize her. But once she looked up into his dark, piercing eyes, she knew this was a man who forgot very little and forgave even less. Well, she was no longer a blushing schoolgirl, and the dashing duke would soon find that a broken heart, once mended, could be formidable indeed!   Clive Rowland, Fifth Duke of Stenton, was in no mood for a holiday gathering. But the Christmas gala would provide the perfect cover as he investigated reports that French agents were doing a brisk trade in stolen documents along the Sussex coast. It would be devilishly difficult to play the host while tracking down traitors, but Clive was up to the task—provided he kept his wits about him and didn’t get distracted by yule logs and Christmas folderol . . . or the delightful charms of the disturbingly familiar Elizabeth. She was hiding something, to be sure, and Clive liked nothing better than unveiling a lady’s secrets!

    "This giddy, sexy series launch is a delight.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)  
Missing teens. Impossible magic. And the sexy nemesis who might drive her to murder. 
Ashira Cohen takes great pride in the detective agency she’s built from scratch. It may be small, but she has big dreams. 
None of which involve a stakeout gone wrong. 
Or finding a mysterious tattoo hidden on her scalp. 
Or discovering it’s a now-broken ward intended to suppress dangerous supernatural powers that she should not possess. 
Don’t even get her started on the golem. 
The only bright spot is that her unruly powers nearly kill her long-time nemesis, Levi, the uptight leader of the magic community. No, right… that’s a bad thing.  
One word from him revealing her forbidden abilities, and everything she’s built will be taken from her… by force. Definitely bad. 
Except, it seems Levi requires her unique set of skills to solve a spree of abductions. After years of being underestimated by him, it’s Ash’s chance at payback and she’s going to enjoy bringing him to his knees—or stuffing him in a body bag. 
But with a sinister organization pulling strings from the shadows, can she rescue the captives and uncover the truth, or will the next blood spilled be her own? 
If you like headstrong heroines, clever mysteries, and a dash of red-hot romance, you’ll burn through this wickedly funny series.
