Midnight Blue: A Novel of Perfume, Power, and Inheritance

by Kiki Astor

About this book

Julia Cavendish is cursed with a nose that can deconstruct the molecular truth of any scent, a gift that borders on madness. When a scathing review of Gabriel de La Tour’s latest fragrance leaves her destitute, she finds herself entangled with the very man she once despised. Gabriel, the heir to a crumbling perfume empire, is blind to the world of scent but desperate to claim the mythical Blue Oud. He needs Julia’s supernatural senses to navigate the hidden, dangerous world of high-stakes perfumery, forcing them into an uneasy alliance that crackles with tension.

This dark romance plunges readers into a world of old-money opulence and ancient, suffocating curses. As they travel from the elite laboratories of Manhattan to the shadow-soaked markets of Marrakech, the line between professional ambition and lethal desire begins to blur. Their enemies-to-lovers dynamic is forged in the fires of corporate espionage and sensory overload, where every breath could be a seduction or a death sentence.

Blending historical atmosphere with a unique magic system, this paranormal tale explores the cost of obsession. Julia and Gabriel are trapped in a deadly game where power is the ultimate fragrance and betrayal is the base note. If you crave intense, atmospheric stories where love is as dangerous as it is intoxicating, this is your next obsession.
