Banished (Fae of the Crystal Palace)

How not to fall for a rake of a fae while solving a murder in a corset

A spellbinding tale of dangerous desire, dark magic and love that defies the rules.

In the glittering heart of Victorian London, the Great Exhibition promises progress and wonder. But beneath the glass and steel of the Crystal Palace, something sinister stirs.

Rowan, a fae with the power to bend hearts and desires to her will, is drawn into a deadly mystery. When a string of high-profile murders rocks the city, she's forced into an uneasy alliance with her most formidable enemy, the notorious rake and turned fae, Shadowthorn.

To catch a killer, Rowan must pretend to betray everything she believes in and fake a love affair with Shadowthorn. But as they plunge deeper into a world where the lines between good and evil blur, Rowan must question whether her heart is as much a pawn as those she manipulates.
