Passionate, idealistic Rose Tregarth may have been invited into her uncle's remote home in the heart of Wales as an act of kindness to a poor relation, but it doesn't take her long to realize that her newly-met family members are eccentric, creative, deeply lovable - and in need of all the help they can get. If the crumbling medieval walls of Gogodd Abbey aren't to collapse around their heads at any moment, someone will have to step up and take charge of the situation. Fortunately for all of them, Rose has never lacked in determination. Add in more and more mysteriously appearing little dragons and a threatening new neighbor who could easily star as the villain in one of her aunt's fabulous Gothic novels, and Rose is soon up to her ears in plots and schemes to save all the people and beasts she's come to love…with the help of a sweet, baffled dragon scholar whom Rose has swept into a fake betrothal - for purely practical purposes, of course. With her fierce, loyal heart, Rose is more than ready to take care of everyone around her, dragons and humans alike. However, it may take an act of true magic to clear her eyes to the future - and the gentleman - she desires for herself. Claws and Contrivances is the second in a series of standalone fantasy rom-coms that can be read (or listened to) in any order.
