Charlotte Love is absolutely like the fairy tales you read in books. He loves her. She loves him. He drops to one knee and an extravagant wedding follows.

If I tell him, I risk more than one friendship in my life. After a night we can’t remember, and of a twist of fate, I might have a chance at my own perfect epilogue ending, too.

Allegra Tarot has an uncanny knack for becoming anyone she wants. Depending on the job, she can transform the carriage of her body or the cadence of her speech.

If you want to follow along on her investigations, you better lock in.
