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.

Violet

As a lover of cryptozoology I’m irritated by the fact my last name is the same as an obnoxious author who writes debunking books. The man has no soul. I’ve even had others accuse me of being him. So when I finally make it to Loch Ness he’s there and we’ve been mistakenly booked into the same room. I’m so ready to give him a piece of my mind.

Then he turns around. My mind goes blank, and my knees turn to mush. Tingles cover me everywhere. He could be my ideal fantasy. If only he believed.

Owen

Seeking the truth about myths and monsters has provided me a substantial bank account but I’m done pretending I don’t believe. Joining a tour of Nessie watchers is my last gig as a debunker. Due to an error, I’m forced to share the last available room with a beautiful woman who challenges every statement I make with passionate conviction.

I listen to her words but all I want to do is kiss her lush lips into silence and explore the rising passion between us. I need to get to know her better. A lot better.

It’s time to get what I want, so I ease back and wrap my fists in the front of his shirt, crushing the body-warmed cotton. With a grin I fill with wicked intent, I push him back against the door and rise to my toes. “I’ve waited all day for this.”

“All day? Didn’t we start out the day with you being angry with me?”

He’s right and I straighten my spine to make my confession. “I was trying to hang on to the anger. I felt betrayed while at the same time knew that was a totally silly reaction. Some of my confusion…” I duck my head and press my forehead against his chest. “Some of it was because I was attracted to you.”

“Was?”

Lifting my gaze I hope he sees the truth in my eyes. “Am. Even more than I was this morning. I’ve thought about this moment most of the afternoon. Now. Now it’s time.”

With deliberate efficiency I press a kiss to his firm lips. They part slightly and from the tiny jerks of his muscles I’m sure I’ve surprised him. Sighing at the twin points of pressure of my sensitive nipples against his chest, I squirm, attempting to increase the pleasure. His firm length twitches against my lower belly but I sense he’s holding back, allowing me to take control.

My mouth moves against him and I press closer. “Owen,” I moan. “You’re not kissing me back.”

Stuck at home? Be whisked away to all four corners of the world and find your next happily ever after. The Vagabond Series, a collection of standalone travel romances, will help you escape to far-off and exotic places.

LizAnne lives in the capital city of Husker Nation. She shares a home with her two siblings and an elderly cat named Goku.
