Every book in the Society of Scandalous Witches can be read as a standalone.
Secrets. Scandal. Hexes. And a desire that refuses to be tamed.
In gaslit Victorian England, reputation is everything-and Lady Cynthia Burrows has perfected hers. A flawless hostess. A dutiful wife. A paragon of the beau monde. Until her husband is found murdered and Cynthia becomes the most scandalous suspect of the Season. With society sharpening its knives, Cynthia turns to the formidable Blair family-rumoured witches who move through polite society with dangerous ease to help clear her name.
Among them is Helena Blair: sharp-witted, fiercely independent, and blessed with the power to read minds. Until she meets Cynthia. For the first time in her life, Helena hears nothing at all. Could it be that this captivating yet infuriating woman has untapped powers, or she's masking her guilt?
As the investigation unfolds, Cynthia's carefully controlled world begins to unravel. And it's not long before the heat between them threatens to ignite something far more dangerous than gossip. But giving into their desires could ruin everything. To survive, they must risk their hearts before the truth hexes them!
