In Good Keeping

You take charge of a cursed keep and its dangerously attractive sorcerer. He needs you gone before a year and a day binds you to his house—and to him.

Dismissed without a reference for catching your employer's son in the accounts, you take the only steward's job still willing to consider you. Wexcombe Keep rearranges its stairs, rings for rooms nobody can find, and belongs to a sorcerer who looks exhausted enough to be grateful for the help. Lucan Ashgrave says please, pulls your chair toward the fire, and offers a glowing reference if you'll leave before the year turns. You need the wages and a chance to prove yourself, while he has a houseful of reasons he won't explain for keeping you at a distance. Running his household could become the easiest part of staying close to him.
