In Plain Sight: Of Foxfire and Feathers: 1

In Plain Sight: Of Foxfire and FeathersElara Ashford has spent twenty years perfecting the art of being overlooked.As a Cross-Blooded woman she knows exactly what happens to people like her when they're truly seen. So she keeps her head down, raises her found son Rory with the same careful invisibility that has kept them both safe, and quietly funds a home for the hybrid children Society would rather forget.Then Lord Valerio Duskwing - a harpy nobleman with a Council seat, and an inconvenient habit of actually paying attention - catches her eye across a crowded ballroom, and doesn't look away.What begins as an unlikely courtship becomes something neither of them bargained for: a boy who needs a father who won't flinch from what he is, a found family assembling itself one stubborn act of love at a time, and a woman who must decide whether the safety of hiding is worth more than the terrifying, exhilarating risk of being truly known.But someone on the Concord Council has learned what Elara is, and means to use it against everything she's built. Some secrets don't stay buried. And sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is stop hiding and let herself be seen, in plain sight, at last.A Regency-inflected fantasy romance about hidden magic, chosen family, and the courage it takes to be known.
