Magda is a seamstress by trade but out of work and is forced to reading tarot cards for the rich even though she has no real gift for it. She tries to give the rich what they want to hear. Magda’s mother was murdered and it was still unsolved. Magda was suppose to go to Canada with friends but was ill and lost her chance. But Magda is left with the care of an ageing actress and takes what she can for work. She covered for another at a party at Lord Kerringan’s home. Lord Kerringan knows Magda is cheating as he catches her. After which she is asked if Kerrigan’s horse will win a race she pulls the wrong card and says no. The horse lost and Kerrigan believes Magda is on whoever fixed the race. Then Magda is attacked and Alexander who is Lord Kerringan brings her to his townhouse for her safety and where he can question her for information. Alexander and Magda develope feelings for each other but resist theme as they are from two totally different worlds.

I liked this story but would have liked it longer. I just didn’t really get wowed by the story but liked it as I said. There were enough twists and turns maybe even a few too many to keep you interested . I liked Alexanders and Magda’s characters a lot and all the ins and out they went through.

I received an ARC of this story for an honest review.
