Lord Nicholas Monterris is trapped. The only heir to a declining dukedom, Nic is destined for a marriage of convenience. What he didn't expect was for his bride to be Lady Leaf Serral, daughter of his father's hated rivals. Now they must all be locked inside mouldering Monterris Court for the duration of the contract negotiations, along with head negotiator, master vowsmith Dashiell sa Vare - beautiful, perfect Dashiell sa Vare, an old flame Nic has neither forgiven nor forgotten.

What could go wrong?

Only a dead body turning up mere hours after they lock the doors. This first death could be an accident, but a second one makes it clear that something sinister is unfolding at Monterris Court. As long-buried secrets begin to surface and accusations fly, Nic must work with his former lover and his future bride to uncover the killer before they become the next targets . . .

'One part sweet and swoony romance, one part magic-infused mystery and thoroughly enjoyable on all counts!'
