INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! "S o riotously clever it almost defies description...an alchemy
of romantic elements held in perfect harmony. "—NPR Rival ornithologists hunt through England
for a rare magical bird in this historical-fantasy rom-com reminiscent of Indiana Jones but
with manners tea and helicopter parasols. Beth Pickering is on the verge of finally
capturing the rare deathwhistler bird when Professor Devon Lockley swoops in stealing both her
bird and her imagination like a villain. Albeit a handsome and charming villain but that's
beside the point. As someone highly educated in the ruthless discipline of ornithology Beth
knows trouble when she sees it and she is determined to keep her distance from Devon. For
his part Devon has never been more smitten than when he first set eyes on Professor Beth
Pickering. She's so pretty so polite so capable of bringing down a fiery deadly bird using
only her wits. In other words an angel. Devon understands he must not get close to her
however since they're professional rivals. When a competition to become Birder of the Year
by capturing an endangered caladrius bird is announced Beth and Devon are forced to team up to
have any chance of winning. Now keeping their distance becomes a question of one bed or two.
But they must take the risk because fowl play is afoot and they can't trust anyone else—for
all may be fair in love and war but this is ornithology.
