Hello lovely ARC readers!

I've got an ARC coming to you soon. Later today! Consider this email a heads up. It's from my Victorian fantasy romance series, Alchemy of Desire. It's book 1, Binding the Baron, a class difference book with a magical blacksmith and a heroine in hiding and a definite HEA at the end. No cliffhangers here!

Here's the blurb:

The glitter of glamours.

Diana Chester was never supposed to have magic. No women are. So when she inherits it instead of her cousin. She runs, seeking refuge above a potion shop and planning an escape from London. Until a scandalous and tempting alchemist proposes a marriage of convenience. Accepting him may be the only way she can live her life in the light once more.

The might of metal.

Royal Alchemist Temple Grant is a metal magician who can bend iron with his hands. But after the king gives him a title, he needs a lady to help him navigate the icy social circles of the city’s elite. Diana Chester, the mouse of a marquess’s cousin will do perfectly. She can’t continue hiding. She needs someone to keep her safe, and while Temple can’t cast glamours like the rest of the ton, he can do that.

A convenient binding, complicated by desire, made almost impossible by a city divided.

Temple never expects Diana’s kiss to call to the life-giving heat in his core. And Diana never hoped to find love in the shadows. Diana and Temple belong to different sides of London. Love can bind them, but it might not be enough to bridge their dueling worlds.

If that's something you'd like to read, then you can grab a copy at Netgalley through this link or you can wait on my email from Bookfunnel, which will arrive later today!

As always, reviews are appreciated, but if you can't read and review because of life or because this particular book isn't your cup of tea, no worries! You don't even have to let me know. Just wait for the next book and read the ones that bring you joy!

Happy reading,

Charlie
