Author: Anya J. Cosgrove

Genre/Tropes: Invisible Shadow Daddy; Hidden Identity; Forced Proximity; Forbidden Love

Release Date: September 18, 2025

Revenge is sweeter when served with a smile—and a knife hidden behind your back.
I’ve been sharpening mine for years.

The Spring crown was mine.
Until Freya Heart ripped it away.

Now, the only way back to the Fae continent that exiled me is through her son, the prince with the charming grin and the audacity to offer me his hand in marriage.

He wants a seat at the Faerie war table.
I want his head on a stick.

I don’t trust him. I don’t like him.
But we’re sharing secrets. Sharing a bed.
And he looks at me like I’m more than just a means to an end.

I came back to reclaim my throne—not to fall for the son of my enemy.
And if I have to betray him to win?
So be it.

This novel is a full-length romantasy with a happy ending for our couple, and though it's part of an interconnected series, it can be read first. Steamy. 18+. Full list of triggers inside.

We absolutely love this series and think it is fantastic. We support indie authors who are striving to make their dreams come true. If you enjoy fantasy romance, we highly recommend checking out this book and its series; you won't be disappointed.

Moving on to our thoughts, we were captivated by Devi and Seth's story right from the beginning. Devi's bravery and the challenges she faces immediately drew us in, while Seth's smooth-talking, charismatic, charming, and sinful nature added an intriguing dynamic.

The chemistry between Devi and Seth is palpable, and there is a deeper connection that cannot be denied. Despite Devi's disdain for Seth's mother and the actions of Freya, she finds herself drawn to him in a way she never expected.

This story is filled with hatred, mystery, suspense, cruelty, sorrow, love, sacrifice, secrets, death, longing, and evil characters.

There are moments of despair and unexpected twists that will leave you shedding a tear or two as you empathize with Devi's struggles and past. The slow-burning romance between Devi and Seth is beautifully portrayed, with witty banter, flirtations, lust, and longing building up to a satisfying climax where sparks fly and emotions run high.

Intrigue, deception, hope, healing, and friendship are woven throughout the story, keeping readers engaged and invested in the characters. Both the good and bad characters play their roles to perfection, with Percy standing out as a favorite for his humor and unwavering faith in Devi's ability to find healing and love with Seth. We thoroughly enjoyed this book and are eagerly anticipating its conclusion.

Major Grace Samuels, a trauma surgeon deployed to Afghanistan, spends her life helping her fellow soldiers overcome disease and combat injuries. But her own wounds are harder to heal. Wracked with guilt over the death of a fellow soldier, she finds comfort in her only friend and appointed bodyguard, weapons sergeant Jacob “Sharp” Foster.

Sharp feels more for Grace than a soldier should, more than he wants to admit. When the team discovers a new, quick-to-kill strain of anthrax, he tries to focus on the mission to find its source. He knows he can help Grace defeat her demons, but first they must defeat the deadly outbreak.

Sharp is Grace’s most loyal ally, but in close quarters, he starts to feel like more. She can’t watch someone else she cares about die—but she might not have a choice. The closer they get to finding the source of the strain, the closer it gets to finding them.

Doctor Sophia Perry has always been a fighter—the youngest virologist and hematologist in the nation, she's made a career of outsmarting diseases. But her own battle is one she can’t win. With cancer stealing her future, Sophia is determined to make her remaining time count. When a deadly outbreak sweeps through a Syrian refugee camp, she throws herself into the investigation, keeping her diagnosis a secret from everyone, including the soldier assigned to protect her.

Communications Sergeant Connor Button has his own scars from war, both seen and unseen. Back on active duty after a devastating explosion, he doesn’t expect his next mission to awaken something inside him he thought was lost: hope. Sophia’s brilliance and determination spark a fire in him he hasn’t felt in years, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even when her relentless pursuit of answers puts them both in danger.

As violence threatens the camp and deadly truths come to light, Sophia and Connor must face more than just their enemies. With time running out, they must decide if love is worth the risk when every moment could be their last.

Alicia Stone has always lived up to her name: unbreakable. As the daughter of a general and a Special Forces consultant with black belts in three martial arts, she's fought her way to the top in a world where respect is never freely given. No one questions her strength or dares to call her Alicia—except Colonel Robert Maxmillian.

As head of the elite Biological Response Team, Max is no stranger to pressure, but his toughest mission yet lies in northern Iraq, where a deadly virus—or weapon—threatens to wipe out entire villages. With Alicia by his side to protect him, he's ready to face the unknown. But what starts as a mission of survival quickly becomes personal as the undeniable attraction between them grows.

Alicia knows Max would be the perfect no-strings fling, but he’s not interested in settling for less than everything. Their passion ignites even as the stakes rise. When their investigation leads them closer to the source of the virus, they uncover a dangerous enemy willing to sacrifice anything to keep their secrets buried.

With lives on the line and their own hearts in the balance, Alicia and Max must trust each other to survive. Can they take down a ruthless scientist before time runs out—or will their mission end in betrayal and heartbreak?
