She has always resented high society, and the sorcery that provides them with a luxurious life unimaginable to most. Orphaned as a child and rescued by the editor of a local newspaper, she is now an ambitious reporter determined to keep her newspaper afloat.

While covering a lavish society gala, she happens upon a shocking scene: the murdered body of a man she had spoken with just minutes before. Several of the powerful magical elite may want the man dead, but the prime suspect is a wealthy industrialist.

He soon makes her a tempting offer: Find the culprit and restore his reputation in exchange for a substantial fee. Despite her distaste for his world, she agrees—the money would save the newspaper, and the story would be the scoop of a lifetime. There’s only one catch: In order for her to infiltrate society, the two must pose as a courting couple.

Their investigation takes them from the highest echelons of privilege to the seediest backstreets of the city. As they unearth the city’s secrets and scandals, she finds herself in grave danger—while falling for one of the most infuriating, arrogant, handsome men she has ever met . . .
