If you were desperate--if your family's existence depended on your ability to use an uncertain magic--would you use it?
What if using that power--or not--controlled the rest of your life and happiness?
The death of Celeste Rochester's father on the voyage from Jamaica to London leaves her and her young siblings nearly penniless in a foreign country. Forced to battle lawyers for her inheritance and the roof over their heads, Celeste's only weapon is her mysteriously compelling voice.
Having become a barrister to fight injustice, Lord Erran inexplicably incites a riot with his first impassioned speech. Barred from the courtroom, he acts as solicitor for his brother, the Marquess of Ashford. His first job for Ashford requires moving tenants from his brother's townhouse-a simple task until Erran meets the uncommon beauty living there and realizes she is under attack.
Erran cannot heave Celeste's desperate family from their home, even though his blind brother needs the property. Nor can he sit back and watch unseen enemies do the job for him.
Can Celeste trust him to defeat their foe? And if Erran succeeds in saving the lady with the intoxicating voice, can he bear to evict her-when she alone understands the turbulence ruining his life?
"With unconventional recurring characters, passion and a bit of danger, this is a compelling read from a master of whimsy, mayhem and laughter. The second Unexpected Magic book is a magical tale of love". Reviewed by: Joan Hammond, RT Reviews
