An innocent was about to be sentenced to death! (Actually, marriage, but that mattered very little, as the two words were synonymous for the princess.) Every year, the seasonal kingdoms in the realm of Lore gather together for a tournament of whimsical games. The winner’s reward? The marriage to a member of the hosting court. When Princess Brigid of the Spring Kingdom publicly rejects the tradition of being offered as a mere prize, it has unforeseen consequences. A year later, her younger sister Blossom has been thrust into the role of the bride-to-be. When she learns the roguish Night Prince has stepped forward to compete for Blossom's affection, Brigid takes matters into her own hands to protect her sister. In her quest to outwit unworthy suitors, she assumes a clever disguise and enters the tournament herself, prepared to throw any villainous contender from the running. As the tournament unfolds, however, Brigid finds unexpected allies among her adversaries and discovers that true love can bloom in the most unexpected places. Readers who love the cozy fantasy genre will enjoy this delightful journey filled with humor, enchantment, and of course, romance.

“The name for the act was fitting. It definitely felt like I had been struck by Cupid’s arrow. The mystical bond that now tied me to her was strong and irrefutable: I was hers forever now. And I didn’t even know her name.” Arrows are magical phenomena binding a wolf shifter to their soul mate. Already dealing with the attempted murder of his mother, increased pressures to become alpha, and the escape of a violent ex-pack member, Arrowing is the last thing on Noah’s mind. That is, until he Arrows on Sophia Rose, who with one look alters his life completely. Now on top of everything, he faces the challenge of pursuing a human who knows nothing of his world or the bond their souls share. “I knew from the moment I saw Noah that he had the potential to rock my world.

However, after a verbal altercation in the park with a handsome stranger, Sophia finds herself taken down a path of seduction and secrets- pulled into a world that threatens the idea of the calm life she thought she needed.

“Perhaps it was never an issue of not trusting her, I just wasn’t trusting of the world around her.

Unfortunately, threats to his happiness with Sophia continue to lurk in the shadows... including the witch who betrayed his family. Torn between protecting Sophia and seeking revenge, Noah finds himself in a tug-of-war between the human and supernatural world. "If I had the same magic running through my veins, supernaturally bonding me to him, he wouldn’t question my love for him, or take any issue with my male friends. I could preach my devotion until I was blue in the face, but maybe it could never dissuade him from the fact that it was human nature to be fickle." With danger always imminent, and Noah pushing her away for her protection, Sophia wonders if she will ever truly feel at home in Noah’s world. When a friend in need requires her attention, and Noah’s unfounded jealousy rears its ugly head, Sophia also struggles to make space for Noah in her world. Frustrated with the barriers between them, Sophia aims to find a common ground.

“She didn’t take the news of me being a wolf shifter very well. How was she going to handle the concept of a magical bond between our souls? How would she respond to the confession that the very moment I saw her, before she even spoke to me, I was instantly and eternally in love with her?”Noah and his pack of shifters are about to be attacked by a treasonous ex-pack member, an evil witch, and their pack of rabid wolves.

Torn between a need to share everything with her before it’s too late and the dread of scaring her away forever, Noah finds himself faced with the predicament of confessing the truth about what “Arrows” are.“The unfortunate truth was that I was being pulled between two paranormal and human, and it didn’t feel like I was fully fitting in either.”Falling for a wolf shifter, human Sophia Rose is introduced to the realm of the supernatural, only to be cast out of it shortly thereafter. Seeking refuge with friends from her past, she struggles to revert to her old self while knowing Noah and his pack are in crisis.
