One boy, one girl, one plot to be foiled! A fairytale romance for girls with a very unlikely Prince Charming.
Hamish the gorgeous man (and part-time ferret) has a new job with the Duke as a spy in his Autumn Palace. So Ondine goes with him. She imagines a hugely romantic escapade together that involves lots of kissing. What she hadn’t imagined was having to do endless laundry, go to school and keep Hamish the man a secret. All the while trying to find out who is plotting to kill the Duke. And if that weren’t bad enough, it seems that Hamish is more interested in getting the Duke’s attention than hers. Plus he’s always in ferret form. Things can’t go on like this! Can Ondine foil the would-be assassin, save the Duke and get her man back in gorgeous human form? It’s going to take a little bit of magic, a lot of stolen kisses and some ferreting around . . .

Reviews
It was a very interesting book. I learnt new words and the author made the place the book was set so real that I could picture each scene in my head; I even had to go and search the place to see if it was fake! I was a really good book that I would read again and definitely recommend!!
