The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic

The Thinking Woman''s Guide to Real Magic is a sparkling romantic adventure. When Nora Fischer stumbles, quite literally, into a magical world where everyone is glamorous and life is one long party, she''s immediately captivated. What she doesn''t realise, because everything is such fun, is that there''s a darker side to her new friends. In fact, it''s only after she agrees to marry the charismatic, masterful Raclin that she discovers she''s a prisoner in this new world. If Nora is to escape, then she has just one hope: the magician Aruendiel. And if she can also persuade him to teach her the art of real magic, then she might just be able to return home. Is that what she wants, though? Aruendiel has a biting tongue, a shrouded past and no patience, so there''s no way Nora could be falling for him... Is there?
