Half Agony, Half Hope is a modern, magical take on Jane Austen’s Persuasion.

Born to an exceptionally wealthy, powerful, and well-respected family, Corvus Winterbourne is entirely bored with the carefully cultivated life that has been laid out before him until a Texas cowgirl stampedes her way into his life. But all Pearl McCoy wants to do is get out of her podunk, dead-end hometown and learn everything she can about magical cursebreaking. She didn’t travel all the way to the UK to one of the most prestigious magical universities in the world to catch the eye of some entitled heir with the world at his feet. For the first time, Corvus knows what it is to want something that he can’t have.

Almost ten years later, Pearl receives a tantalizing offer to work in one of the finest personal libraries that belongs to one of the most ancient magical families in the UK. There’s only one catch – the library belongs to Corvus – the man who captured her heart and threw it away as soon as he’d won it. How could she ever trust him again?
