From New York Times bestselling author of the House of Night series Kristin Cast comes a spicy and spellbinding light romantasy filled with tarot, banter, and a heroine caught between an old flame and a roguish king.
One minute, I’m a corporate powerhouse daydreaming about being the heroine of a Jane Austen novel. The next, I’m actually in one—if Jane Austen wrote about steampunk kingdoms, runaway princes, and my ex-boyfriend trying to dominate me all over again.
Gemma Darlington does not belong in the Kingdom of Cups. She’s supposed to be closing deals, not getting caught in magickal sacrifices. Wearing stilettos, not corsets. And she’s definitely not supposed to be face-to-face with Alder—her commanding, infuriating ex, who seems to think that just because they’re in another world, he gets a second chance.
But Gemma has a new problem: Alderic, the former King of Pentacles. A golden-haired rogue who’s all trouble, all charm, and all wrong for her. Except… maybe he’s exactly what she needs. Because while Alder is set on keeping her under his control, Alderic is the one tempting her to break every rule.
Now, with a rebellion brewing, a crown up for grabs, and magick that refuses to be ignored, Gemma has one choice to make: Will she rewrite fate, or will she let these men decide her destiny for her?
One kingdom. Two dangerously irresistible men. And one modern woman who refuses to play by their rules.
