How Not for Fall for a Rake of a Fae While Solving a Murder in a Corset
Rowan, a fae with the power to bend hearts and desires to her will, is drawn into a deadly mystery in Victorian London where every shadow hides a secret and dark magic coils beneath the surface. A string of murders has claimed the lives of high-profile Lords, and the only way to uncover the truth is to forge an uneasy partnership with her most formidable enemy, the notorious rake and turned fae, Shadowthorn.
To deceive their foes, Rowan must pretend she has switched allegiances and that she has fallen in love with Shadowthorn. But as they plunge deeper into a world where the lines between good and evil blur, Rowan must question whether her heart is as much a pawn as those she manipulates.
