About the book:

In a world of secrets and scandal, can love break the spell?

After five years in hiding, Lady Anabel Montgomery returns to Regency London with more than just a mysterious past-she carries a secret that could ruin her. She's a witch, and her magic is growing harder to control, especially with the pressures of society closing in.

Sir James Marley, newly knighted war hero, is determined to forge his own path as a businessman. But his father has grander ambitions: to see James marry well and elevate their family into the aristocracy. The last thing James expects is to fall for the enchanting and elusive Lady Anabel.

Their connection is instant, their attraction undeniable. As outsiders navigating the rigid world of the ton, they find solace-and sparks-in each other. But as whispers swirl and an unseen force begins to torment Anabel, her carefully guarded world threatens to unravel.

When danger strikes, Anabel flees. James follows. What awaits them is a journey filled with peril, passion, and a magic neither of them fully understands.

Can Anabel trust James with her heart-and her secret-before it's too late?
