Tea Leaves and Tarot Cards

Description

In this historical romance set in the Regency London of 1816, dashing but cynical Marquess of Huntingdon has heard much gossip regarding the mysterious “Princess” Maeve and her second sight. He is intrigued by her dark, exotic beauty and believes she would make a passionate mistress. Maeve, considered an original by the ton, does not intend to belong to any man, even the devastatingly handsome Marquess, but she does want him to help her friend, Lady Caroline, with a problem of the heart.
