About A Bond for the Breaking (A Magical Trinket Mystery)
Publisher: Kensington Cozies
Publication Date: November 24, 2026
There’s no rest for the gifted! The 200-year-old former debutante turned magic-wielding mystic of Washington D.C. returns to drive fast cars, recover magic trinkets, investigate murders . . . and fall in love in this spellbinding, USA Today bestselling series by the New York Times bestselling author of the Ghost Hunter Mysteries.
If murder can have a silver lining, it’s 200-year-old Dovey’s blossoming romance with handsome FBI agent Grant “Gib” Barlow. True, it’s a relationship with some complications—not least of which is Gib’s status as a freshly minted “mystic light,” imbued with just enough magical ability to get him into trouble.
Dovey also has to adapt to her changed status now that she’s no longer romantically involved with her boss, the supremely powerful Elric Ostergaard. Mystic court is always rife with intrigue and
game-playing, but even more so now that the beautiful, ambitious Veda Akkineni is visiting at Elric’s invitation. Veda seems intent on becoming Elric’s new partner, and her disdain for Dovey is dangerously clear. But Veda has her enemies too . . .
Meanwhile, Gib is investigating a disturbing homicide that echoes the infamous Black Dahlia case. This victim was a mystic—and it’s the first in a string of brutal murders that reveals just how far someone will go to eliminate a threat—including using Dovey’s best friend, Ursula, as a pawn. Bound and unbound, mortal and mystic, no one is safe from a murderous obsession that is rapidly descending into chaos. And unless Dovey can find a way to stop it, her new love and her eternal life will both be casualties . . .
