About
Set against the backdrop of the Village Museum, Toying With Magic by L.L. Mason is a cozy, forced-proximity MM romance that blends workplace angst with a touch of historic intrigue and magic.
When new assistant curator Micah Howard an expert in 18th to 20th-century toys joins the museum team, he expects to focus solely on his career. Instead, he finds himself navigating an instantly tense, magnetic dynamic with the museum's focused and reserved Executive Director, Hunter Collins. Despite Hunter's strict professional boundaries and mysterious past, fate repeatedly throws the two together from an emergency-plagued road trip to retrieve a priceless artifact, to getting locked overnight together in the museum's secure basement storage.
At the center of their undeniable pull is "Juliet," a 200-year-old custom doll donated by a wealthy heiress. Adorned with diamonds and intricate craftsmanship, the doll carries a centuries-old legend: every pair who sleeps under the same roof with her finds themselves unexpectedly falling in love. As Micah uncovers the diary detailing Juliet's magical history, he and Hunter must confront whether the overwhelming sparks between them are merely the spell of an enchanted relic or a real, deep connection neither of them can deny.
