Among other things, Blythe has been a theater kid, English teacher, and homeschool mom. She is a self-taught artist who draws her own character art and mini comics. Her first literary loves were The Lord of the Rings, Les Miserables, and The Three Musketeers, with a heavy dose of Pride and Prejudice, Rebecca, and The Scarlet Pimpernel. Her stories reflect her love for other worlds, swashbuckling adventure, magic, and romance. She'd take the mountains over the beach, unless the beach is rocky, foggy, and overshadowed by a mysterious forest. She lives in rural Wyoming with her husband, six children, three cats, and one very tolerant dog.

Delphine Leighton is a widow with a serious problem: her late husband gambled away their wealth, leaving her with a mountain of debts and a bookie harassing her. When she overhears that a mysterious foreign gentleman needs a governess, she takes a chance on an interview.
But Varrick Allard isn’t a gentleman—he’s not even human, and he doesn’t need a governess. He’s a mage who’s been forced from his studies to track down a magical creature stalking the streets of Delphine’s city. What he needs is a fake mistress who can help him infiltrate the high class gambling dens connected to the series of attacks. Although it will ruin her reputation, Delphine is desperate enough to sign a contract with him. While they seek signs of their quarry in the glitter of high society, they can’t deny the growing attraction between them. Delphine is unsure she’s ready to trust a man again, and despite his extensive education, love wasn’t part of Varrick’s curriculum. As they follow the trail of victims, their precarious affection is threatened by the discovery that Delphine could be the creature's next prey. |
