Summary
When an American witch and a British lord reluctantly join forces to curate the preeminent spellbooks of the Victorian era, their scholarly bargain conjures more than just powerful magic—it sparks a dangerous attraction.

Elizabeth Varma, eccentric New York spinster and unapologetic kitchen witch, is not about to let some stuffy British peer prevent her from publishing her American spellbook. Elizabeth has spent years diligently revising her country’s largely ineffective grimoire, replacing ingredients like ‘toe of newt’ and ‘tail of cat’ with plant-based alternatives. The outrageous notice of magical copyright infringement she received is the most despicable kind of scholarly sabotage, and she shall tell the arrogant Lord Maximillian Revell so to his face.

When Max discovers that an upstart American has stolen his idea and may well beat him to publication of his revised English magical primer, he moves quickly to protect his work. But the fuming Valkyrie barging her way into his townhouse in Grosvenor Square is nothing like he expected—and everything he could ever want.

Most startling of all: Elizabeth’s magic actually works. Real power has been diluted over centuries of carnivorous and arrogant use, but together Elizabeth and Max’s combined knowledge could change the course of history. That is, if they can overcome meddling society matrons, aspiring dark wizards, Queen Victoria’s government, and the most powerful spell yet—falling in love.
