About this ebook

Jane Austen’s Regency flavored with the mystique of Camelot
—Miss Elizabeth Bennett’s romance complicated by mystery—
—Mr. Darcy’s manners balanced by Merlin’s magic—
in an alternate reality where not everything is as it appears

Twist legend into truth . . . Regency England is ruled by the Round Table and a favored few wield the legacy of Merlin.

To most of the guests, it’s a relaxing country house party. But military plans have been stolen. They must be recovered before they are sold to foreign agents.
Clandestine magician, espionage expert, and heir to a duke, Lord Richard Brinston is the perennial hero. It is his job to recover the stolen plans, using any or all of his skills. No surprise, Brinston works alone.

Also born to the privileged class but with a puka heritage, Martha Dunsmore is determined to find the missing document. Brinston is her angel after he saves her from a smuggler’s attack, but now he says she should be sewing instead of searching. Martha has endless courage entwined with more than enough audacity to make her displeasure clear to the infuriatingly top-lofty Brinston.

This provoking chit thinks he is arrogant? Not hardly. It might be a house party, but on a mission for the government, Brinston has no time for dalliance or games. When he ignores her, Martha is vastly irritated by his indifference. She mocks and challenges him. Convincing her that espionage should be left to the male pushes his patience, if not his magic, to the limit.

Can this pair ever see eye to eye? Somehow, they must come together to trap a thief before madness becomes murder and treachery becomes treason. Then there is the small matter of hearts entwined...

Ann Tracy Marr

Ann Tracy Marr is a wife, mother, former secretary, executive assistant and computer consultant. She started writing in school, where teachers praised her talent. Being as stubborn as any member of her family, she ignored them. But when her kids were in high school and the threat of college tuition became a promise for the future, Marr plopped herself in front of her computer and opened Microsoft Word. Since romance novels were a large section of the publishing world, she started there. Still being as stubborn as any member of her family, she scorned writing to formula. She took the basic plots of Regency romances and turned them on their heads. Arranged marriages always resulted in love? Nonsense. Gentlemen always treated ladies gently? Pooh on that idea. Thus, four fantasy romance novels were born. Tuition bills came and went. (They moved in more than they went away, of course.) Next Marr turned to a family story that intrigued. How did her great-great-grandmother's two brothers end up in prison? That blot on the system of justice produced Van Buren's Scandal, a thoroughly researched history of a year in Van Buren County, Michigan for two brothers named Barker. When someone mentioned the Bell Witch haunting to Marr, she knew immediately the author of that period was a demon. She dug deep in her imagination (or was she inspired by the Almighty or Lucifer's legions?) and psychology classes to figure out what the demon was up to and why. Imagine this dumpy, grey haired member of the middle class sitting in the local diner, asking everyone for their favorite and most exotic swear words. That is how this book came to be written. On top of all that, Marr has researched and published several genealogy books of no interest to anyone other than her family and other genealogists. Tucked in there somewhere is the diary she kept while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. If you like any or all of the books she has written, Marr would deeply appreciate reviews. Those reviews really help sell books, and tuition bills graduated into medical bills, etc.
