“On the island of Charmant, magic flows like bootlegged champagne, and fantasies can be bought for the price of a gemstone.
Luxe Revelle, star of her family’s fantastical show, knows the splendor is just an illusion. With Prohibition threatening their livelihood, her family struggles to make a living, watering down champagne and patching holes in their sequined costumes. So when the son of Charmant’s wealthiest family makes her an offer—everything the Revelles need to stay in business, in exchange for posing as his girl and helping him become mayor—she can’t refuse.
The moment Jamison Port sets foot in Charmant, he can’t shake the feeling of familiarity. An orphan with as few memories as gemstones, he’s desperate to learn what happened to his parents. But as he delves into the island’s secrets, he risks angering the wrong person and discovering a truth that just might break his heart.
When Luxe and Jamison accidentally meet, the sparks that fly are more than her magical enchantments. But keeping secrets from powerful people is a dangerous game . . . one that could destroy them both.” - taken from Goodreads.
Welcome to Charmant where magic is the norm. Luxe Revelle and her family are struggling with the effects of Prohibition. Without booze, the tourists will stop coming to spend their jewels at her family’s show under the big top. When her uncle hatches a plan for Luxe to make the island’s young bootlegger, Dewey Chronos, fall under her spell to procure cheap liquor, she agrees.
Jamison Port has come to Charment with a couple of friends looking for clues to his past. Raised in an orphanage from a young age, the only clue he has is a photo of his parents. When Dewey offers Jamison his coat to replace his ripped one and his box seat under the Nib Top, Luxe sets her sights on the wrong target. The attraction between Luxe and Jamison is immediate, even after she realizes her mistake.
When Dewey wants to take on his political family for control of Charmant, he sees the Revelle family as a way to gain votes towards the mayoral election. Partnering with Luxe starts as a means to the end but as time passes, Luxe soon realizes that she may be in over her head.
With dangerous secrets threatening to come to light, can Luxe save her family and will Jamison discover his?
