Now she introduces a Regency England youâÇÖve never seen before, where dazzling magic is practiced in all but the highest reaches of Society, and where desire is the most mysterious and seductive force of all.One of the Duke of WellingtonâÇÖs most respected officers, Jack Langdon, Lord Frayne, takes his familyâÇÖs honor very seriously. He also hides a shameful secret: a talent for sorcery he has been raised to suppress and openly reject. But after an injury lands Jack at deathâÇÖs door, his only chance at survival lies with Abigail Barton, a peerâÇÖs daughter and a skilled wizard. Her price: JackâÇÖs hand in marriage. It isnâÇÖt long before Jack feels an irresistible attraction to his forthright new wife, whose allure is as intense as the reawakening magical abilities he can no longer deny.Abigail had to make a great sacrifice to perform a spell powerful enough to save Lord Frayne, and although she cannot help but be drawn to her reluctant husbandâÇÖs surprising sensitivity and kindness, she knows all too well his distaste for magic. Once she has JackâÇÖs name and the child she has always longed for, she is determined to live apart from him so that he can preserve his reputation-and so that she herself can stay true to her gifts.But neither Abby nor Jack reckons on the deep, long-simmering passions her spell ignites. They challenge each otherâÇÖs extraordinary powers and deepest desires for the sake of a love that may cost them all they cherish most.With breathtaking skill and vivid historical detail, Mary Jo Putney weaves a tale of enchantment, mystery, and romance that will forever hold you spellbound.
