Lady of the Flames — Barbara Monajem

Magic is fraught with peril -- but so is love. Lord Fenimore Trent's uncanny affinity for knives and other blades led to knife fights, duels, and murderous brawls. Five years ago, he faced a choice: marry Andromeda Gibbons, the woman he loved, or find a safe, peaceful use for his blades by opening a furniture shop -- an unacceptable occupation for a man of noble birth. The choice made itself when Andromeda turned to another man. The furniture shop prospered, but now Fen's partner is accused of treason. In order to root out the real traitor, he faces another unpalatable choice -- to resort to the violent use of his blades once again. Once upon a time, Andromeda Gibbons believed in magic. That belief faded after her mother's death and vanished completely when Lord Fenimore, the man she loved, spurned her. Five years later, Andromeda has molded herself into a perfect -- and perfectly unhappy -- lady. When she overhears her haughty betrothed, the Earl of Slough, plotting treason, she flees into the London night -- to Fen, the one man she knows she can trust. But taking refuge with Fen proves to mean far more than getting help -- it means learning to believe in love, magic, and the real Andromeda once again. Regencies With a Difference!
