The Magpie Lord

"A lord in danger. A magician in turmoil. A snowball in hell. Exiled to China for twenty years, Lucien Vaudrey never planned to return to England. But with the mysterious deaths of his father and brother, it seems the new Lord Crane has inherited an earldom. He's also inherirted his family's enemies. He needs magical assistance, fast. He doesn't expect it to turn up angry. Magician Stephen Day has good reason to hate Crane's family. Unfortunately, it's his day job to deal with supernatural threats. Besides, the earl is unlike any aristocrat he's ever met, with the tattoos, the attitude. and the way Crane seems determined to get him into bed. That's definitely unusual. Soo Stephen is falling hard for the worst possible man, at the worst possible time. But Crane's dangerousappeal isn't the only thing rendering Stephen powerless. Evil pervades the house, a web of pliots is closing round Crane, and if Stephen can' find a way through it- they're both going to die. "-Page 4 of cover.
