Netherby Halls — Claudy Conn

Sassy found herself in trouble after her father the vicar's death -- more than the usual kind. She has turned twenty-one and is going through transition as her powers of light magic are completed.

Not quite penniless but no longer able to stay in her home, as a new vicar would arrive to take over the parsonage, she has to find a respectable position.

She finds one through her late mother's friend, as a tutor at Netherby Halls.
As she makes the journey to Netherby she meets the man who has been making love to her in her dreams…the irresistible Marquis of Dartmour.

Things at Netherby are not what they seem.
The handsome marquis is not what he seems, and Sassy…Sassy has to find her way through a maze of evil and magic.
