A routine stop at the market for Silas Barnett turns into anything but when he helps stop a robbery, and heโs intrigued by the old lady brave enough to take on the crook. Never having much of a family of his own, heโd always wanted a feisty grandmother like her, and he canโt help but want to spend time with her.
Though as much as he likes her, Silas doesnโt exactly see Mimsey in the same light as she wants him to, so she introduces him to Maudeโyoung, beautiful, yet another lady throwing Silas for a loop, and after one date she has him completely under her spell. Still, sheโs not what heโs looking for, and Mimsey feels guilty for forcing it.
When a jealous tattletale sticks her nose where it doesnโt belong, Mimsey must answer to the higher powers. For sheโs committed the ultimate crime according to the gods and goddessesโsheโd fallen in love with a mortal. And she must pay with his life.
