Happily Ever After Dark

I've spent my whole life preparing for one moment, but on the night I'm supposed to commit myself to the Moon Coven, a murder attempt has me fleeing the safety of the only home I've ever known. I run straight past the safe cottage in the woods and right into the arms of a most unlikely hero—a ruthless pirate captain. As I board The Ruined Soul, I can't be sure if I'm a passenger or a captive, but as the tides grow more dangerous, I begin to suspect there's more to the cold-hearted captain than meets the eye. And my magic just might be the thing to help her thaw out.

Three years ago I was freed from the jailer's cart and sentenced to a lifetime of servitude at the Briar Apothecary, located at the edge of a forest filled with devouring trees. I spend my days blending herbal remedies for my mistress and concocting poisonous treats to weed out her enemies. I've learned firsthand that the prince isn't the hero the rebellion wants him to be. His careless bet invites danger to my doorstep, but it turns out a bit of danger is exactly what I need. Now I'm falling for a woman willing to be ruthless for me.
