**THIS IS A SHORT STORY**
A human from across the valley just killed Xyran Rossi's father and older brother, and Xyran is now next in line to be the fae king of Ravenna. But Xyran never wanted to be king. And Blood Law dictates that before he can succeed the throne, he must take a wife. Xyran never wanted that, either.
When Cirella, the sister of the human who killed his brother, is offered up as a bride to pay for her brother's crime, Xyran's mother accepts on his behalf. A marriage will be the perfect way to ease tension between the two families. But Xyran can't stand the brash, feisty human girl, with her overwhelming smells and filthy, back-talking mouth. She...does things to him inside.
Not only that, it turns out she's pretty handy with a blade, and she came here with no intention of playing nice...
From the author:
This is a steamy, lighthearted, dual-POV standalone Valentine's Day romance you can read in an hour or less, at any time of year! I go for QUALITY over QUANTITY when it comes to spice, and I rate my chili peppers at about a 3.
You'll find the following tropes:
HEA ending
enemies to lovers
arranged marriage
fae
mafia-style family
badass female
men with wings
revenge
fantasy world
plot twist
About the Series
Small town apocalypses? Dystopian billionaires? Fae mafia bosses? How about hockey playing shape-shifters? A Greek god desperately in need of a nanny?
You may ask, "Why?" This series of steamy holiday-themed short stories asks, "Why not?" Why not a mishmash of genres? Why not funny, off-the-wall romance with hot spice and big heart? Why not an unhinged hockey shifter romp starring the Easter bunny?
Inside these 12 books, you'll find 12 standalone "adult fairy tales", each set during a different holiday in every month of the year.
"Even August?" I hear you asking.
Yes, friend. Even August.
"But there isn't even a holiday in Aug—"
Shh shh shh, don't worry about that. You let ME worry about that. Just start at January, and everything will be fine.
