From the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic comes a sweeping historical romance, perfect for everyone who wishes Bridgerton had just a dash of magic . . .
The Grand Season has just begun and already Nina''s debut among Loisail''s most notable socialites has gone disastrously awry.
Nina has always struggled to control her gift of telekinesis, which has earnt her the nickname the Witch of Oldhouse. When Hector Auvray, the renowned entertainer, arrives in town, Nina is dazzled. He too has a telekinetic talent and sees her not as a witch, but ripe with magical potential.
Under his tutelage, Nina''s talent blossoms, as does her love for him. But great romances are for fairy-tales, and Hector is hiding a secret bitter truth from Nina - and himself - that threatens their courtship.
The Beautiful Ones is a sweeping tale of love and betrayal and the struggle between conformity and passion.
