Magic, Adventure, and Romance...
"I have to warn you: I’m going to be practicing magic. Scandalous magic..."
Magic may be the greatest scandal in Regency England. But that's not going to stop Kat Stephenson when there are highwaymen to foil, sinister aristocrats to defeat...and true loves to capture for her two older sisters.
