The Antiquarian’s Object of Desire

Magical antique experts Amelia Tarrant and Caleb Sterling have been best friends forever, although lately each has begun to secretly wish for more.

But when rumours start to fly about just how close they might be, they realise this cannot do for two competing antiquarians. And both are forced to fake their rivalry to save their reputations.

After their latest staged argument causes a magical explosion on the Oxford campus the exasperated faculty sends them on a job in Cumbria . . . Where mishaps, magical mayhem, and rampaging ghosts await.

When a deadly antique goes missing, their search soon prompts a search for both the object, and a truth hidden in their hearts.
