About this audiobook

Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. A marriage of convenience with an icy fae lord. An old flame she never forgot. A second chance she never expected. And a wife he will do anything to win back. When mortal healer Elara Voss discovers her sister is cursed by a dark fae poison, she has no choice but to seek help from the one man who shattered her heart five years ago: Kaelen Ashvale, the cold and powerful Lord of the Winter Court. Their bargain is simple—her healing magic for his protection—but the price is steep: a marriage of convenience to seal their alliance. Yet as winter snows settle over the palace of crystal and silver, old fires ignite. Kaelen, once her lover and now her stranger-husband, seems determined to prove he is not the man who left her. But Elara cannot forget the past, and she will not be won with whispered promises and stolen glances. The complication arrives with the first full moon: Elara’s own blood, drawn during a healing ritual, reveals a secret that shakes the foundations of the fae courts. She carries a dormant power—an ancient magic tied to a betrayal that nearly destroyed the Winter Court a thousand years ago. Now, the same enemies who cursed her sister are hunting her, and Kaelen’s icy control is the only thing standing between her and a fate worse than death. He offers her his name, his army, and his bed—but she must give him her trust, and that is the one thing she cannot afford. The impossible choice: save her sister by embracing a power that could corrupt her soul, or walk away from the only man who has ever made her feel alive—and let her sister die. Kaelen, for his part, is a lord haunted by his own demons. He let her go once to protect her. Now he will burn the world to keep her safe. But can a woman who learned to heal with her hands trust a man who rules with ice in his veins?
