Overview

Can magic make the course of true love run smooth? Peregrine Carrington marches to the beat of a different drum than the rest of Regency society. Having dedicated his life to the study of magic, his current goal is to create an enchantment that will catch a falling star. His spell requires too much magic to be cast by a single magician, so when a young sorceress visits Carrington Abbey, Peregrine is delighted to find a potential collaborator. As their intellectual partnership deepens into something warmer, Peregrine believes he's found the love of his life-if only he can convince Dora's guardians. As the illegitimate daughter of a baronet, Dora Rossini has always lived on the margins of respectable society. With her father dead and her stepmother scheming against her, Dora is happy to exchange the hostility of her childhood home for the acceptance she finds at Carrington Abbey. Working with Peregrine to fine-tune his meteor spell gives her purpose, but being a woman, she is not allowed into magical societies dominated by men. When Peregrine leaves her behind to attend a house party for magicians in distant Cumberland, Dora thinks the only potential danger is that of missing him too much. . . until she hears alarming hints about the host of the house party. Peregrine and Dora will need their wits, their magical ability, and their loyalty to each other if they want to both protect their magical scholarship and outmaneuver Dora's controlling guardians to secure a future together.
