Professional matchmaker Kit Woodhouse has arrived in Gandiegow to recruit the real, the hot, and the kilted for her popular service. But Ramsey Armstrong may be a little too real. With his sexy grin, worn-out jeans, and black wellies, he’s an unpolished hulk of a Scottish fisherman—and a skeptic when it comes to romance. Not exactly a man of “pairing attributes,” but he does make Kit’s own heart beat a little faster. Maybe it’s the scent of the sea in his hair. Maybe it’s the challenge. Maybe it’s the thrill of the unexpected. Then again, maybe it’s love.

FIRST IN A THRILLING NEW SERIES SET IN THE WORLD OF THE MARADAINE NOVELS.

Determined to support her family, Satrine Rainey, former street rat and ex-spy, fakes her way into the post of constabulary Inspector. Minox Welling, a brilliant, unorthodox Inspector and uncircled mage known as “the jinx,” is partnered with Satrine because no one else will work with him. Their first case together—the ritual murder of a Circled mage—sends Satrine back to the streets she grew up on and brings Minox face-to-face with mage politics he’s desperate to avoid. As the body count rises, Satrine and Minox race to catch the killer before their own secrets are exposed and they become targets.
