Geography professors in a failed marriage of convenience inconveniently reconnect for an emergency mission in this swoony historical-fantasy rom-com.
Professor Elodie Tarrant is an expert in magic disasters. Nothing fazes her—except her own personal disaster, that is: Professor Gabriel Tarrant, the grumpy, unfriendly man she married for convenience one year ago, whom she hates but at the same time secretly loves.
Gabriel is also an expert in magic disasters. And nothing fazes him either—except the walking, talking tornado that is his wife. They’ve been estranged since their wedding day, but that hasn’t stopped him from secretly loving her, and yet hating her, too.
When magic erupts in a small Welsh village, threatening catastrophe for the rest of England, Elodie and Gabriel are accidentally both assigned to the case. With the fate of the country in their hands, they must come together as a team in the face of perilous conditions like whirlwinds, explosions, and only one bed. But this is easier said than done. After all, there's no navigational guide for the geography of the heart.

India Holton can do no wrong to me! This was another great read: clever, witty, (com)passionate, and above all unique and highly entertaining. Elodie is a great character: she's smart, caring and very good at her job. I loved getting to peel away Gabriel's layers and discovering what was behind his austere fa�ade. There was so much pining! Delicious. As always, there's a great cast of funny side characters, and the plot is so refreshingly unique and out there.
