Magic Most Deadly E. L. Bates

For Maia Whitney, life after the Great War is dull, monotonous, and drab. Nursing soldiers in the bloody fields of France hadn?t been easy, but it was better than life at home, standing in her sisters? shadows. There seems no chance for a change until the night she witnesses a murder in the woods. The last thing Magic Intelligence Agent Lennox Davies needs is this outspoken, independent lady crashing his investigation. Bad enough that a murder happened on his watch; much less that she had to see it happen. He works alone, and he does not have time for Miss Maia Whitney?s interference. But as Maia?s own magical talent blossoms and danger thickens around the two with every step they take, before long Len and Maia must rely on each other in a fashion neither has ever done before. If they can?t learn to work together, England itself might topple. Even worse, if Maia doesn?t learn to control her magic soon, she might do more to destroy them even than their shadowy enemy. Can they set aside their stubbornness and self-reliance in time to save themselves?and all England?
