Book Description:
Magic is fraught with peril—but so is love.
Lord Fenimore Trent’s uncanny affinity
for knives and other sharp blades led to duels and murderous brawls until he
found a safe, peaceful outlet by opening a furniture shop—an unacceptable
occupation for a man of noble birth. Now Fen’s business partner has been
accused of treason. In order to root out the real traitor, he may have to
resort to the violent use of his blades once again.
Once upon a time, Andromeda Gibbons
believed in magic. That belief faded after her mother’s death and vanished
completely when Lord Fenimore, the man she loved, spurned her. Five years
later, Andromeda has molded herself into a perfect—and perfectly unhappy—lady.
When she overhears her haughty betrothed
plotting treason, she flees into the London night—to Fen, the one man she knows
she can trust. But taking refuge with him leads to far more than preventing
treason.
Can she learn to believe in love, magic,
and the real Andromeda once again?

Excerpt from the book:
*Setup*
After learning of a treasonous plot, Andromeda fled into the
London night to get help from Lord Fen, the man she once loved. They’re now
having breakfast the next morning.
“Did you carve the figures on
your looking-glass frame?” she said. As a boy, he had whittled constantly.
“They seem so…familiar somehow.”
“They should,” he said with a
sudden smile. “I carved it from my memories of the fairies and hobgoblins back
home.”
“Fairies and hobgoblins?”
“At your father’s estate,” he
said. “Surely you remember Cuff the bedchamber hob, and Heck the buttery
spirit, and all the rest.”
“My mother told stories about
them,” Andromeda said, nostalgia filling her again. “I must say, I like the way
you’ve imagined them.”
Fen frowned at her, his smile
fading, his eyes perplexed. “I didn’t imagine them,” he said. “I saw them.”
Andromeda rolled her eyes.
“That sounds like something my mother would have said.”
“Because she saw them, too.”
Andromeda began to be annoyed.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Fen. She made up stories based on tales she’d been told
as a child.”
Fen shook his head. “You saw
them when you were small. You saw Cuff and Heck and the others. We both did.”
“No,” Andromeda said. “We saw
movement out of the corners of our eyes and said they were fairies, but we were
just playing games.”
Fen’s expression was pained.
“You really don’t remember, do you?”
“There’s nothing to remember,” she insisted, wolfing down
another cream puff. “As a matter of fact, that happened to me this morning. I
had the impression that one of the creatures on the looking-glass winked at me,
but of course it didn’t really do so.”
“What a pity,” Fen said.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
