LOVE AT FIRST SPITE by Anna E. Collins
January 4, 2022 Graydon/Harper Collins
They say living well is the best revenge. But sometimes, spreading the misery seems a whole lot more satisfying. That’s interior designer Dani Porter’s justification for buying the vacant lot next to her ex-fiancé's house…the house they were supposed to live in together, before he cheated on her with their realtor. Dani plans to build a vacation rental that will a) mess with his view and his peace of mind and b) prove that Dani is not someone to be stepped on. Welcome to project Spite House.

Then one day, Marguerite risks discovery by rescuing a child from the flames. Assisted by Tys, an itinerant acrobat, they flee her uncle's ""justice,"" setting her on a path that will keep her safe. But can she stay hidden, strengthening her Skeincraft skills when Reichard moves to take the throne? Marguerite is an unlikely challenger, relying on her homemade invisibility cloak, a few allies who use sign language, and Tys, the one boy she never should have trusted.
