About this audiobook

Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. A fae spy who hates her court. A fake engagement that feels far too real. An accidental pregnancy that traps them together—and a family secret that could shatter everything they're fighting to protect. For fans of Sarah J. Maas and Scarlett St. Clair, A Court of Thorn and Smoke is a steamy paranormal romance where enemies become lovers, lies become bonds, and one impossible choice will decide the fate of two worlds. Lord Rhysand Ashford has spent a decade dismantling the corrupt noble houses of the Seelie Court. As the most feared spy in the Unseelie intelligence network, he's seen every kind of betrayal—but nothing prepares him for the woman who walks into his trap. Seraphina Vale is desperate. Her younger sister, Elara, has been promised to a sadistic nobleman in a political marriage that will drain her magic and break her spirit. To stop it, Sera needs access to the Ashford family archives—an impossible task, unless she agrees to Rhysand's price. A fake engagement. Six weeks of playing the devoted fiancée to the man who once called her kind a plague on the fae world. Sera knows Rhysand is using her to get closer to her father's inner circle, but the spark between them is undeniable—and the consequences are swift. When Sera discovers she's pregnant, the fake engagement becomes a trap of its own. Rhysand's loyalty to his mission wavers as the lines between duty and desire blur, and the conspiracy they're unraveling twists back to a secret Sera's family has guarded for centuries: a forbidden magic that could either save her sister or doom them all. Now Sera must make an impossible choice: sacrifice her own freedom to protect her unborn child, or unleash the magic that could destroy her family's name—and the fragile trust she's building with the one fae who makes her feel truly alive. As the wedding approaches and the conspiracy closes in, Sera and Rhysand will discover that the greatest threat isn't the court they're fighting—it's the truth they can't outrun. Tropes: Enemies-to-lovers, fake engagement, accidental pregnancy, forced proximity, secret magic, fae politics, family secrets, morally gray hero, strong-willed heroine, slow burn with steam, high stakes.
