Kissed Under the Thorn Moon

Elara Blackthorn has spent her life hiding the magic that should have killed her — or worse, revealed what she truly is. But when an ancient treaty demands a human bride for the fae prince, her secret becomes the reason she's chosen.

Prince Cassian Thornvale is three centuries of discipline wrapped around a fortress of silence. Cold, precise, and guarded by walls no one has breached — until the bond between them forces open every door he's sealed shut.

Their magic ignites on contact. The dying Thornwood responds to their touch. And the ritual that's supposed to save a kingdom keeps pulling them closer — body, power, and soul.

But someone at court has been poisoning the forest for thirty years, and Elara's arrival threatens everything he's built. With the Thorn Moon rising and a traitor circling, Elara must decide how much of herself she's willing to burn to save a world that was never supposed to be hers — and a man who was never supposed to be anything more than a political arrangement.

A fantasy romance of forced proximity, slow-burn heat, and a brooding fae prince who falls first and falls hard.
