NOTE: Previously published as The Fairshaw Library: A Historical Fantasy Romance (2022)
Sparks fly when a scoundrel with a heart of gold sets out to win the heart of an heiress in this magical historical romance. The result is a cozy gaslamp fantasy brimming with old magic, tender love, steamy kisses, and perfectly brewed Earl Grey tea.
It’s 1848, and in a small Victorian town in the stunning English countryside, the powerful Fairshaw Master has just died. A prophecy promises Lady Adelaide’s hand in marriage to any man who can find the Fairshaw Cat.
But Lady Adelaide is far from a proper lady and cares little for society’s expectations that she must obey the wishes of her dead father, wait for a stranger to catch a cat, and be forced into an arranged loveless marriage.
She’s less than impressed when a dockworker by the name of Frederick Holloway climbs the brick wall to her window to request her help in finding the magical cat.
But their bickering soon turns to flirty banter, and they fall in love. Now all they need for their happily ever after is to find the cat.
So what happens when another man finds it first?
PRAISE FOR THE FAIRSHAW LIBRARY:
I read [the first five] chapters last night! I couldn’t stop. So intrigued and can’t wait to read the rest! I thought it was great!

I loved the writing style and ‘feel’ or overall tone of this one! Especially since it’s clearly not a normal library or even a regular old cat, yet both main characters seemed practical and strong-willed, both determined to take control of their lives where possible.
Adelaide isn’t just some ditzy spoiled heiress who fills her days with dreams of frilly ball gowns and expensive jewels, she just wants to be loved, and if not loved, then at least to be cared for and protected.
Frederick likewise, isn’t nearly as greedy as first thought and he also isn’t quite the vile rake he’s judged as for being a lowborn from the docks–he has a good heart, or at least mostly good intentions when he’s given the chance. I love both characters already!
