The Harwood Spellbook

In 19th-century Angland, magic is reserved for gentlemen while ladies attend to the more practical business of politics...but Cassandra Harwood has never followed the rules. Now she's trapped in a snowbound house party deep in the elven dales, surrounded by bickering gentleman magicians, manipulative lady politicians, a menacing elf-lord...and, worst of all, her infuriatingly stubborn ex-fiancé.

Forbidden romance, dangerous magic, and political intrigue in an underwater ballroom! A standalone prequel novella to The Harwood Spellbook series of romantic fantasy adventures.

Cassandra Harwood is ready to teach a whole new generation of women magicians at her radical new school - until a sinister fey altar is discovered in the school library, the ruling Boudiccate sends a delegation to shut it down, and Cassandra’s husband is torn away from her. Now, she must fight the greatest battle of her life to save her love, her school, & the future of the young women of Angland.

Take one ambitious politician and one determined magician with wildly different aims for their next meeting. Add a secret betrothal, a family scandal, and a heaping of dangerous fey magic in an enchanted wood…and watch the sparks fly!

Two years after Snowspelled, Cassandra Harwood faces one of her most ambitious challenges yet: juggling holiday celebrations for all of her students, a nerve-wracking visit from her intimidating parents-in-law, all of the usual fey and human chaos at Thornfell College of Magic for Young Women - and an un-missable personal anniversary for her and her husband...
