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