About Book One: Winter Cursed

A dark prince and a princess of snow.
Divided by war.
Bound by a kiss of true love.

Elisabeth is the heir to a kingdom trapped in an eternal winter, however, her stepmother Ismena rules as regent until she can come of age. When Ismena comes to kill her, she is forced to flee into an enchanted forest—only to discover that she has entered the realm of an exiled dark prince and his band of mercenary dwarfs.

Cedric of Mooraven is the son of Elisabeth’s enemy, but he might just be her only hope of defeating her stepmother. The only thing he asks for in return is that Elisabeth lift his exile and allow him to return to the rest of the world. Elisabeth doesn’t want to trust him, but neither can she trust herself or her magical powers over ice and snow. An ability that she must keep under tight control for fear of making the winter worse.

With Ismena bent on killing her and the dark prince bargaining for his freedom, the fate of a kingdom rests on Elisabeth’s choice. Ismena, Cedric, or herself… who should she protect her people from?

Mirror, mirror…
All will fall,
Till I’m the fairest…
Of them all.

The classic tale of Snow White takes a darker turn in this NA fantasy reimagining where the dwarves are mercenaries, the prince cannot be trusted, and the whole world is trapped in a spell of ice. This series is perfect for fans of C.J. Redwine, Melanie Cellier, and Sylvia Mercedes.

About The Book:

A siren with no song
A lost boy who accidentally grew up
It was supposed to be the perfect story… not her reality.

Vera is a screenwriter at the end of her rope. She has always wanted to write a story that will bring a villainous twist to two of her favorite fairytales, but if her producer asks her to make one more edit to the script, she might just lose it.

However, when she wakes up in the world of her script, she begins to think she has already lost it. Forced into the role of her main character, a vengeful siren by the name of Moira, Vera finds herself having to live through the story of the Little Mermaid… but as the villain of the tale.

Struggling with how to get by with fins is bad enough, being doomed to get her heart broken in a love triangle of her own making is worse. But none of that compares to the fact that by some twist of fate, it seems her producer James is also in this story. And he is filling in the role of the notorious Captain Hook. James blames Vera for the fact that he is currently missing a hand and being hunted by a monstrous crocodile. He is also not too happy that his nemesis is a childlike force that is creepy beyond all reason.

Now Vera finds herself having to get herself and her producer back home safely as she struggles to survive her own story and not fall in love with either her producer or the guy she made up. But as the plot progresses, she starts to wonder if she should have been kinder to her own characters.

And maybe she should have written a happy ending after all.

Falling for the Pirate is a retelling that combines elements of The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan. With a unique portal fantasy twist this villainous tale tells the love story between Captain Hook and the Sea Witch. Full of pirates, sirens, stressed screenwriters, and sea monsters this swashbuckling romantasy is the fifth book in the To Win a Dark Heart series which retells fairytales as old as time, but this time it’s the villain’s turn to get a happy ending.
