A Scent of Magic

Book excerpt: The discovery of an exotic scent sets the stage for a tale of love, revenge, and renewed passion in this “unique and utterly spellbinding . . . story to savor” (Romantic Times). Simone LeFevre will stop at nothing until she’s joined the exclusive ranks of the world’s top perfumers, even if it means destroying the rival who stole everything from her—including her heart. The discovery of a strange elixir dating back to the previous century is the key to a new scent called “My Desire,” which stirs Nick Rutledge’s dreams with aching memories of the woman he once betrayed. But as these lovers turned enemies delve deeper into the origin of the elusive scent, they face unknown dangers—and embrace a timeless passion. Previously published as Essence of My Desire.
