Magic existed at the fringes until Prince Albert discovered he was a mage. Now he and others like him are leading a revolution in steam technology thatβs held tight in the grip of the upper classes. A man of half-Indian heritage, rejected by his upper-crust, mage-gifted family, Gregor Sherringford lives in working- class London, investigating cases involving magic among the lower classes. But heβs never met a client quite like spirited, stubborn Joan Krieger. Joanβs dream was to lead a fashion revolution designing womenβs clothing suited to the new technology. But when her richest client mysteriously dies outside her shop, it deals a mortal blow to her dreams. She hopes the handsome, enigmatic detective can prove the death a magical murder. She never expected a dark plot would be woven right into the fabric of her family. Or that cracking the case will mean merging gifts, mindsβand heartsβ with the one man who could be her partner in every way. If they survive the release of a soul-binding curse. Warning: This novel contains an intelligent, repressed detective and a woman who wonβt take no for an answer, not when she hires himβ¦and not when she falls in love with him.
