MERELY MAGIC

Can a cynical scientist and an illogical enchantress find happiness?

Lady Ninian Malcolm Siddons, a healer and herbalist, has dedicated her life to the welfare of her ancestral Northumberland village. Both her class and calling have isolated her from companionship and love. But according to legend, her beloved village cannot thrive without a magical Malcolm in residence.

Drogo Ives, Earl of Ives and Wystan, cares only for honor, science, and reason–unlike his unruly brothers and the illogical and untrustworthy female of the species. Love and marriage are two unknowns he has no desire to explore.  His married brother can inherit.

But fate and Drogo’s meddling stepsister bring Drogo and Ninian together for one night…with shattering consequences. Having dealt with the inconvenient result of his father’s bastards, Drogo has vowed to marry any woman who carries his child—and now the irresistible Ninian does. Only, the last time a Malcolm married an Ives, disaster destroyed Wystan and both their families. With all the odds against them, can they find a place where science and mystery meet, and build a bridge into a future where love saves both their families and their homes?

MUST BE MAGIC

Can a perfumed enchantress and a surly agronomist work together?

Society beauty Lady Leila Staines has always been the black sheep of her family: dark where her sisters are fair and lacking their magical gifts. Now widowed, she’s determined to do what she can to nurture whatever talent she might possess by cultivating a new breed of roses to enhance her intoxicating perfumes. But she’s no gardener and needs help…

Wary, plain-spoken aristocrat Dunstan Ives long ago fled a decadent society that held him responsible for the mysterious death of his wife. Instead, he wrapped himself in science and the company of plants. He has no interest in helping a bewitching viscountess grow useless flowers—until he realizes that they’re both victims of vicious minds, and he cannot see another woman harmed in his name.

THE TROUBLE WITH MAGIC

Daughter of a marquess, Lady Felicity Malcolm Childe is expected to marry well,  but her gift of psychometry has always been more curse than blessing. Tired of living in the shadows, wrapped in woolens to deflect the more agonizing images generated by her suitors, Felicity sets out to locate an ancient book of spells that might extinguish her dreadful gift.

A brilliant inventor who can move rivers and harness lightning, Ewen Ives is also a charming rake, but he is not totally irresponsible. He cannot allow a runaway Lady Felicity to travel to Edinburgh unescorted. But Felicity is not the helpless child he assumes. In return for Ewen helping her to find the book, she is determined to save him from the destructive forces only she can sense.

The fiery, dangerous passion that builds between a serenely practical woman and a bankrupt unbeliever might destroy their futures—or fulfill both their dreams

Lady Christina Malcolm Childe’s magical gift of reading auras reveals, to her dismay, that her laughing Harry has recently become a dark and bitter man. She must find out why. . .before the worm-eaten floors of his manor collapse beneath her feet. Until Harry learns to love her truly, this willful Malcolm refuses to consummate their marriage.
