Salt Magic, Skin Magic by Lee Welch

Salt Magic, Skin Magic

3/5. Historical M/M about the noble young man trapped on his estate by magic until he marries at his father's command, and the industrial magician who gets entangled in helping him.

A book that exists in a new-ish genre space – too driven by supernatural plot elements to be pure romance, too much explicit queer sex to easily slot into fantasy. I approve, mind you. This is pleasant – sort of KJ Charles with a little less zing.
