The Lost Lovelies

Famed war correspondent Kit Lovely left Nova Scotia seventeen years ago under the crushing weight of a broken heart, swearing never to return. But after he receives an ominous letter from his new sister-in-law, Kit rushes back across the Atlantic, where he discovers their ransacked house tingling from mysterious magic. With his brother and sister-in-law gone without a trace, Kit‘s left reeling. His own faulty magic can‘t work a tracking spell, nor are the police much use. Desperate for answers, Kit has no choice but to turn to the very man who once shattered him. Reserved mage Gus North is an expert PI specializing in missing persons cases. He‘s also guarding a dangerous secret: he hails from a long line of talented blood magic users. When the only man he‘s ever loved begs for help to find his little brother, Gus can‘t turn him away. Not even with all the lies, and hurt, and lingering feelings between them clawing him up. As they chip away at the case, their core beliefs about themselves, each other, and the world they live in unravel, exposing a deadlier enemy than either of them could have imagined. After all, in a world of magic, not all monsters in fairytales are just stories. THE LOST LOVELIES is an intensely emotional second-chance romance full of queer found family, mystery, and magic. Set in 1945 Halifax, Nova Scotia.
