Lord Willowvale's icy heart has begun to thaw, but it will take a fiery Fair maiden to melt him.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single fairy in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

Lord Ash Willowvale is wealthy and eligible, albeit famously disagreeable, but he is hardly looking for a wife, and the Fair maiden who catches his eye certainly wasn't hoping to. She is merely doing her job as bodyguard for the Fair ambassador, who has been imprisoned in Aricht.

When Lord Willowvale is tasked with extricating the Fair delegation, his difficulties are only beginning. His task seems impossible, his past is deeply offensive to the Fair maiden he quickly grows to respect, and his own guilt threatens to crush him.

Friendship broke down his prejudice; will love break his legendary pride? Will he ever be able to tell the lovely maiden who captured his heart how ardently he admires and loves her?

A Scarlet Pimpernel Reimagining with Fairies and Magic
The Fair Folk are stealing children.
One man is stealing them back.
When Miss Lilybeth Rose Hathaway and her family arrive in Ardmond for the season, Lily can't help but be charmed by wealthy, popular Theo Overton's lovely manners and genuine affection. The Hathaways are soon elevated far beyond what they might have imagined, and like everyone else, they are captivated by rumors of the national hero known as the Wraith, who is saving human children from the terrors of the Fair Court.

The arrival of the Special Envoy of the Fair Court tasked with capturing the Wraith frightens everyone. But the Wraith is far too clever to be captured... until the stakes become personal.

The Wraith and the Rose is a delightful reimagining of The Scarlet Pimpernel in a Victorian-inspired setting with dangerous Fair Folk and a love worth dying for.

His charm and kindness quickly win her affection, until she finds out Fenton has known her cousin Juniper's whereabouts all the time.

Now Fenton must find a way to regain her trust, while a cunning new enemy, terrifying monsters, and risky bargains with several Fair lords all threaten their futures and their lives. It will take both Fenton and the Wraith to soften Fair hearts before they all come to ruin.
