Magic & Mechanicals

Ezra Thaddeus had a blissfully predictable life filled with drinking, womanizing, and looking out for himself until Claudia Drusilla Lucius crashed into it during a séance from hell. A Roman woman resurrected from the dead by unseelie fae magic, Claudia's inability to navigate the modern nineteenth century pulls at heartstrings Ezra didn't know he had, and he finds himself her guardian as she learns to be alive again. A trip to London to see a friend's art exhibit should have been the perfect way to introduce Claudia to his interests, and she's excited to see how much the city has changed since the Londinium she knew in the fourth century. But Ezra doesn't expect his feelings for her to shift into something more, and no one expected a demon to be accidentally summoned during the exhibit. Now that it's out and terrorizing London, it's up to the only two people in the city who know about the existence of supernaturals to stop it. After all, how can he tell her how he feels if he doesn't know if he'll live another day to do so?

The only mistake Lady Adelle Thornber ever made turned into a scandal that rocked London and saw her banished to Scotland, the reluctant bride of a reclusive baron. But Lord Henry MacAulay isn't what she was expecting: he cares deeply for his barony and for her. As the sole heir to the Roseheath title and werewolf alpha, Henry knew that he had to take a mate someday. He just didn't expect to find her in a disgraced noble's daughter forced into marriage with him. As he falls more deeply in love with Adelle, he can't bring himself to tell her what he really is. But if he doesn't, it may not be his werewolf nature that could tear them apart.

It was supposed to be a holiday to clear his mind and revive his career. A chance look through the glass wall of Greaves Estate's underwater ballroom has Lucien Quinn racing against the clock to save a woman from drowning in the sea. But it's she who rescues him after he capsizes his boat in his mad rush, and she isn't only a woman. Calla is a mermaid, exiled from her people and recently escaped from a scientist's laboratory of horrors. Struggling to overcome his own demons, Lucien welcomes Calla's friendship and offers her a place to hide. Except not all demons are grief or loneliness. Some are human, and they have Lucien and Calla squarely in their sights.
