Description:

All strays are welcome here.

From Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Heather Fawcett comes a healing and heart-warming fantasy with magic shops, rescue cats and a second chance at love.

Agnes Aubert is very fond of making lists. These lists kept her afloat when she lost her husband two years ago. And now, as the founder of a cat rescue charity, her meticulous organization skills feel like the only thing standing between her beloved cats - His Majesty, Banshee and sweet elderly Thoreau, to name a few - and utter disaster.

But when Agnes is forced to move the charity, she soon discovers that her new shop is being used as a front; right under her feet is the lair of the decidedly disorganised - not to mention self-absorbed and infuriatingly handsome - Havelock Renard.

Havelock is everything Agnes doesn''t want in her life: chaos, mischief, and a little too much adventure. But as she gets to know him, she discovers he''s more than the dark magician of legend, and that she may be ready for a little intrigue, perhaps even romance. After all, second chances aren''t just for rescue cats. . .

Review quote: previous work:
Emily Wilde''s Encyclopaedia of Faeries charmed me more than any faerie king ever could. . . the ideal book to curl up with on a chilly winter''s evening. I would follow Emily and Wendell to the ends of the earth. This book is an absolute delight

Enchanting in every sense of the word, Emily Wilde''s Encyclopaedia of Faeries is a delight of snowl aden forests and changelings, folklore and fairy kings, meticulous footnotes and academic rivalry and adventure. Brilliant, prickly Emily Wilde and her infuriatingly charming fellow scholar have a special place in my heart now. This book is real magic

A charmingly whimsical delight, saturated with faerie magic and the equally wonderful magic of humanity. . . Five dazzling, gladdening stars

Forget dark academia: give me instead this kind of winter-sunshined, sharp-tongued and footnoted academia, full of field trips and grumpy romance and malevolent faeries. Emily Wilde is a narrator I won''t forget in a hurry, and this book was an invigorating balm for my heart and mind

A book so vividly, endlessly enchanting, so crisply assured, so rich and complete and wise and far-reaching in its worldbuilding that you''ll walk away half ensorcelled, sure Fawcett found Emily Wilde''s journal in some sea-staine
