The ghost of Bluebeard. A handsome count. A con artist in over her head.

Mallory Fontaine is a fraud. She's descended from witches, and pretends to be one, although her only magic is the ability to see ghosts. She can barely make a living - but Count Armand Saphir will pay a fortune if she can rid him of his murderous ancestor's ghost.

Now death has returned to the House Saphir, and Mallory is almost certain the killer is mortal. To have any hope of Armand's payment, she'll need to solve the murder, banish the ghost and keep passing as a witch.

Still, that's easy compared to her biggest challenge: trusting her heart. Especially when her heart's
desire could be the murderer himself.
