Part of Series

The Dark Regency Series Continues Lord Ambrose Ravenner, Marquess of Blackraven is newly widowed under rather mysterious circumstances. In fact, they are the sort of circumstances that make most marriage minded mamas and gently bred young ladies fall into swoons at the mere sight of him. Coupled with the oddities of his family, the mysticism of his two maiden aunts, and rumors that abound about his own uncanny abilities, he’s been rendered virtually unmarriageable. But he needs an heir—a seemingly impossible feat when every woman he meets shrieks in terror or gives him the cut direct. Luckily for Blackraven, there’s one woman amongst the pale and missish young women of The Ton who doesn’t scare easily. In fact, she’s enthralled by the very things that send other young women reaching for their smelling salts. Miss Mathilda Featherstone, bluestocking and spinster, is a creature of curiosity. Hemmed in by the constraints of propriety, she longs to be scandalous, to be shocking, and to do it all after being safely married so she doesn’t kill her parents with violent fits of apoplexy. But Mathilda being plain, plump and poor, as well as being overburdened with intelligence by society’s standards, can’t simply flirt her way into Blackraven’s arms. It will require something a bit more devious…and hopelessly compromising. While Ambrose is stumped on how to find a wife, a would be bride is plotting how to bring him down like wild game during a hunt… Ambrose’s maiden aunts are cooking up a little something of their own. Dabbling in magic, in spells, in a craft even more ancient than their exalted family name, they work a love spell. But like everything the Aunts do, it goes horribly, terribly wrong. Will Mathilda and Ambrose be able to overcome the magical meddling of others to find true happiness together? Or will it tear them apart forever?
