Forbidden Magic Acclaimed as “an enchanting read”* and “a book to remember,”** Forbidden Magic helped establish Jo Beverley as one of today’s most admired storytellers. Finally, this beloved Regency-set tale is back in print… Left penniless after her parents’ death, Meg Gillingham is in dire straits. Her landlord threatened to throw her and her siblings into the winter streets unless she surrenders her young sister to his lechery. Reluctantly, she turns for help to her only legacy—a magic statue that will grant wishes, but only at a price... Meg never expects the statue to bring her a marriage proposal, especially from a handsome earl, but handsome is as handsome does, and Lord Saxonhurst lives amid dark secrets. Even as Meg delights in her seductive husband, she hesitates to trust him, and soon a villain will use her doubts to try to destroy their union, and their lives. Now Meg must put her faith in a more powerful magic—the magic of love. *Booklist, **Literary Times
