About the Book
A sacrifice to duty. Magic gone awry. And a prince with the worst luck on the continent. Prince Ari has always struggled to find his place in his own kingdom…maybe because he spent half his childhood trapped in a swan’s body. His mother thinks he should find a wife and settle down, but far from being subdued by his past brush with magic, he’s convinced life has more adventure for him yet. That belief takes him to the neighboring kingdom—their former enemies who are now their allies. Princess Violet expects nothing from the foreign prince’s visit, except maybe a last chance for some lighthearted fun. After all, she still has a few days before carrying out her secret plan to sacrifice her heart for the sake of the kingdom. Prince Ari will be leaving soon, so where’s the harm in a bit of flirtation? Except neither of them have any idea of the forces working against their plans, both from inside the castle and from within their own hearts. And that’s before Ari falls afoul of the worst luck imaginable. As it turns out, being cursed to be a frog is even worse than being a swan. Ari’s apparent absence only clears the way for darker plots, but fortunately amphibians see things humans don’t. It will take both a determined princess and a more-than-usually resourceful frog to uncover what’s really going on before it’s too late—both for Violet’s heart and the future of the kingdom.

About the Book
An unwilling suitor. A mocking princess. A marriage they both abhor. Diplomacy and a demanding mother send Thorben of Hauke to a neighboring kingdom, there to present himself as candidate for marriage to their princess. Beautiful Leonie of Elisia is famous for insulting every suitor she receives, and Thorben banks on her dismissing him as well—which she does, with vicious aplomb. This time, though, her ridicule proves her father’s breaking point. The King of Elisia vows that Leonie will marry a beggar, and Thorben departs inwardly applauding the punishment… until a terrible storm deposits him tattered and bedraggled at the castle’s kitchen door. Before he can weasel out of his mishap—or even pull rank—the marriage is done. But what’s legal in Elisia might not be in Hauke. Disguised as a beggar, Thorben leads Leonie home to secure an annulment. If he’s lucky, he’ll get it without revealing his true identity… and before losing his heart to his exquisite but sharp-tongued bride.

A perfect prince. An engagement to save a kingdom. Too bad it’s all a lie. Prince Thomas has always been the perfect prince, but now that his kingdom is falling to famine, he must prove his worth and restore the blessing of Spring. All he has to do is find a mysterious woman from a painting and marry her. It’s a quest he’s been born for. He has everything: the looks, the talent, the perseverance. No matter what peril she is in, he will find and rescue her. And he’ll do so with style. If Maisie has learned one lesson in her life, it’s not to trust anybody. Being hurt countless times, she lets people see her masks and no deeper. Her practice at deception makes her a master thief, but now she is forgetting which parts of her are real. But one thing is certain: she does not need any prince to rescue her. In fact, she needs nobody at all. The hounds of Winter are gathering, leaving death in their wake. The famine is spreading. If Prince Thomas doesn't marry Maisie, the kingdom will fall. But how can he learn to love somebody with a shattered heart?

A righteous outlaw. A wicked tyrant. A marriage to save their crumbling kingdom. As regent, Prince John has a never-ending list of problems, including his brother’s expensive war and his subjects’ utter hatred of him. But the biggest thorn in his side? The outlaw Robin Hood. With an ultimatum from his brother—deal with the outlaw once and for all or be sent to the frontlines to die—Prince John needs a solution and fast. Upon discovering everything they thought they knew about the criminal was wrong—most surprising, Robin Hood is a woman—Prince John’s brilliant scheme is born. Marry the outlaw. Secure his safety… even if he condemns himself to a wife that despises him and fascinates him in equal measures. Robin has never come across a trap she couldn’t escape, but when Prince John proves himself as her equal, it’s time to put that to the test. She’d made a vow to fight his tyranny, and the ring on her finger won’t change that. As long as she believes he is every wicked thing the world says he is, her heart is safe, and even though she might be the greatest thief in the world, it isn’t like he has a heart for her to steal…

About the Book
A bitter prince. A rejected servant. A revelation that could change everything. When Prince Kirran of the autumn fey returns home from war, all he wants is food, drink, and sleep. But with his older brothers dead, he’s now the only heir — and he needs a wife. As soon as possible. Which wouldn’t be a problem, except that he’s not over the girl who shattered his heart seven years ago. Half-human Alia avoids her noble stepfamily by living among the fey king’s servants. Her life of anonymity serves her well and helps her forget how Kirran betrayed her — that is, until they’re thrust back into each other’s lives. Their hostile reunion leaves both reeling — until they realize their memories of their breakup don’t match, and neither is lying. With mere days before Kirran has to choose a bride, they must put aside their hurts and fight to uncover the truth. And in the process, maybe, just maybe, they’ll find a second chance to fight for each other.

About the Book
A royal huntsman. An illegitimate daughter. And one heart — delivered on a platter. Max is training to become the royal huntsman, a respected position his lineage has held for generations. Orphaned Snow is an unremarkable palace servant of questionable origins. Although Max banters with Snow every morning, and she can sense his mood at a single glance, the best friends are thrown apart when the king winds up dead. Under the queen’s rule, the kingdom devolves into chaos — and Snow is a threat to be eliminated. When Snow is betrayed, Max risks everything to save her life, despite the painful discovery of the secrets she’s been hiding. With the help of seven dwarven allies, they must all work together to dethrone the mad queen. But as the queen’s magic strengthens, so do the risks. The longer Max juggles the traitors, lies, and unstable queen, the more he realizes he must choose between his family and the woman he's grown to love. And it’s painfully clear that he can't save both. The key to saving the kingdom may lie in Snow’s unraveling of her past, but her heart lies in the hands of the queen’s huntsman.

Although Kienna was warned of conniving fae before her arrival at the Winter Court, the Winter Prince, while beastly, is not the monster she expected.

Her dream prince begs her not to trust her eyes. But… can she trust her heart?
