The Romeo Catchers: The Casquette Girls, Book 2

In this spellbinding continuation of The Casquette Girls saga, Adele must draw on the past - from seventeenth-century Florence, a time bubbling with alchemy and fraternal betrayal - and sort history from fantasy if she is to have any chance of saving her mother, her coven, and her magic.. Sensing Nicco calling to Adele, Isaac tries relentlessly to keep her from exploring paths too dark that would endanger them all. But every turn leads her back to the one person she's determined to forget: Niccolò Medici.

Not even the multitude of enchanted locks on the attic door trapping Nicco within can break their connection.
