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