In 1905 New
York City, affluent Millie Moore wants to be outspoken like the suffragettes
she admires. She also wants to rid herself of an annoying and controlling
suitor. For a well-brought up young lady whose mother fears her impending
spinsterhood, speaking her mind is an uphill battle.
When
Raymond Wilson sees Millie at a rally, it’s love at first sight. Not wanting
his stutter to ruin his chances, he enchants a little candy heart to do his
talking for him.
For Millie,
Raymond is a breath of fresh air. And maybe, just maybe, someone she could
love. But for her social-climbing suitor Guy Elliot, he’s a threat to his
plans. And Raymond isn’t the only one who knows something about magic. Now the
ante has been upped and Millie is the prize…
Excerpt:
A giggle rose up inside Millie. “Do you always carry
around candy?”
“A g-g-ood uncle is a-a-a-always p-prepared.”
Raymond patted down his pockets. His hand
rested over his heart for a moment. A coy little smile played his lips. Then he
reached into another pocket and brought out a rumpled white bag from Smith’s.
He pulled out a heart.
“I—I been s-s-aving th-th-these in c-c-ase I
f-found you ag-g-gain.” From the inside of his jacket he produced a pencil. He
wrote a tiny message on the heart before he gave it to her.
“Eat me!” it squeaked.
How adorable.
Her laughter bubbled up unrestrained. “Is it
safe?”
He nodded.
She looked at the heart, hesitated, and then
held it up to his lips. “You first.”
He opened his mouth and accepted the heart from
her delicate fingers. He sucked on it
and closed his eyes in delight. “Mmmm…” He leaned back against the iron railing
and gave himself over to the joys of a little conversation heart.
Millie let out a breath. “Are you teasing me?”
He lifted a single eyelid. “Yep.”
Extracting another heart, he wrote, “Sweet
Lips.”
He held it up for her. “Y-your t-turn.”
