Gemma Ridley’s first encounter with Squire Kenrik proves nothing short of alarming. So much so, she considers fleeing back to the city, despite the fact only poverty and scandal await her there. Could those challenges be worse than staying as governess on a haunted estate and working for a dangerously handsome eccentric?
Little does Gemma realize what dark secrets and wondrous enchantments will transform her life at Rook Hall. Squire Kenrik is more than he seems—more than any man she has known. He may be the source of her undoing, or he may hold the key to her deepest desires. Only time and the guidance of her heart will tell.
***Stories from the Secret Realms are historically-inspired fantasy romance. They share a setting reminiscent of England in the mid-19th century, but their world is rich with magic.
Each book stands alone, and they can be read in any order.

MY REVIEW OF Miss Ridley & The Warlock
Before Gemma
Ridley arrives at Rook Hall as the new governess for Squire Kenrik’s two
children, she is warned that the place is haunted. Gemma starts having weird
dreams straight off, but she ignores them since she has an employer who gives
her freedom to teach the way she wants. It’s the perfect job. Plus, there’s no
denying the attraction between her and the Squire. But with her social status
ranking below his, does she really have a chance for a happy ending?
I liked these
characters immediately. With their strong attraction and their equally broken
past, this was a love story just waiting to happen. I wanted to read more
surrounding Caroline’s death because I felt like it was glossed over, but
otherwise the plot was intriguing.
