Fenton Ash (pseudonym for Francis Henry Atkins) also known as Fred Ashley, Frank Aubrey (1840 – 1927), wrote a number of „scientific romances” beginning with „The Devil Tree” (1896). He was involved in a scandal at the turn of the century and sentenced to nine months imprisonment for obtaining money by deception.

    You can't orchestrate true love…can you?  
    Spellmaster Geraldine Hartford has everything she could want — a successful spell shop and close friends and family — but she's still waiting on her own swoon-worthy romance. Her friends think their matchmaking efforts are helping, but it's the tall, handsome stranger in town who immediately catches Gerry's eye.  
    Basil Thorne's life has turned upside down. After his father's death, he's found himself uprooted from Bath to become the head of a family he barely knows. Overwhelmed by responsibilities, not to mention the clamor of Tutting-on-Cress locals wishing to befriend him — only the lovely spellmaster with a twinkling smile seems to soothe Basil's heart. 
    And he's not the only one who's noticed… 
    Soon it seems as though everyone in Gerry and Basil's lives is determined to match them up. But Gerry is waiting for the surefire spark of romance and Basil is waiting until his life settles down.  
    They may be perfect for each other, but it will take some meddling — and a bit of magic — to bring them together. 
    This book is the fifth installment in the series Meddle & Mend. It can be read after Dear Bartleby or as a standalone.
