Fire Spells Between Friends
by Sarah Wallace, S.O. Callahan
Book 2 in Fae & Human Relations
Torquil is one of those characters readers fall for instantly - competent, sharp-tongued, and vulnerable underneath. The queer-normative Regency world feels effortless instead of forced, and the friends-to-lovers pining hits that exact frequency where you want to shake both of them.
