A nobleman must work with a dashing soldier to save his sister from a mystical bargain gone awry in this swoon-worthy romance from the bestselling author of Boyfriend Material.
âThe utterly enchanting second installment of Alexis Hallâs Mortal Follies series brings back all the magic, both literal and figurative, that readers expect. . . . Itâs another rousing success from Hall.ââPublishers Weekly (starred review)
It is the year 1815, and Mr. John Caesar is determined to help his sister, Mary, successfully navigate the marriage mart. A high-stakes endeavor at the best of times, this task is made slightly more difficult by his familyâs nontraditional background, the pernicious whims of the ton, and the ever-present complication of living in a world full of scheming fairies and capricious gods.Â
Despite all that, John knows that his parents wish to see his sister comfortably settled. He also knows that the sooner he sees Maryâs future secured, the sooner he can get his own wishâreturning to an aristocratic life of leisure. And as for Mary? Sweet, sensitive Mary just wishes gentlemen would pay as much attention to her as they do to her younger sister.Â
When Maryâs all-too-literal wish puts her squarely in the sights of a malicious fairy godmother, John sets out to save her. This choice throws him into the path of Captain Orestes Jamesâthe handsome up-from-the-ranks hero of Wellingtonâs armiesâand his ragtag band of misfits. Together, John and the captain will venture into a vicious world of fey bargains and sacrificial magic as they draw ever closer to rescuing Maryâand to each other.Â
While John is no stranger to casual dalliances with soldiers, until now heâs never expected one to lastâor wanted one to. He and the captain come from different worlds, and even if Orestes feels the same, John knows thereâs no point in wishing for something more between them.
After all, John has learned firsthand that getting what you wish for can be a dangerous thing. . . .
