Sometimes bodies are easier to bury than secrets… Coriander Whitlock has been in turmoil for the last few years. After burying her husband, being accused of his murder, and finally finding justice when the real murderer was caught, she is certain she can now quietly disappear into the comforts of the estate she once shared with her husband and tend her garden of herbs, both medicinal and deadly. But fate and a well-meaning, meddling cousin have other plans. Between funerals and seances, Cory is beginning to believe there is a killer on the loose, and each victim appears to be connected to the magic she so staunchly hides from the ton. Being accused of murder is one thing, but a witch? If word spreads of her abilities, the only calling cards she’s likely to receive would be for a date with the executioner. Yet, she cannot hide from the spirits who are calling for her to seek justice again. And when she is thrust into another murder investigation, she must put her faith in the hands of a brooding, infuriating man with the power to upend her life and expose her secrets. It seems London is as determined to give up its ghosts as her cousin is to marry her off to the next eligible widower. Fans of The Last Necromancer and The Parasol Protectorate are sure to enjoy this slow-burn gaslamp fantasy romance.
Bios:
Rachel Rawlings: USA Today Bestselling author Rachel Rawlings is just an East Coast girl trying to survive the heat and humidity in the South, surrounded by four mini-pigs, four goats, twelve ducks, too many chickens, and four humans. When she isn’t writing Urban Fantasy or Paranormal Romance she can be found with her nose in a book and a cup of coffee nearby. There may or may not be cookies.
Misty Simon: Misty Simon always wanted to be a storyteller…preferably behind a Muppet. Animal was number one, followed closely by Sherlock Hemlock… Since that dream didn’t come true, she began writing stories to share her world with readers, one laugh at a time. Touching people’s hearts and funny bones are two of her favorite things, and she hopes everyone at least snickers in the right places when reading her books. She lives with her husband in Central Pennsylvania where she is hard at work on her next novel or three.
