She’ll marry a prince if she must.
But fall in love?
Never.

The first time Amelie Fairfield fell in love, she started a war. Now, the part-human, part-fae fashion designer has sworn off romance to focus on her career. But when her name makes headlines in the worst possible way, there’s only one thing she can do to escape scandal—marry a human prince and make everyone forget about the career-killing rumors.

To solidify peace between the humans and fae, Prince Albert must take a fae bride. As sister to the fae queen, Amelie is the perfect candidate. If only she could say the same for the rakish prince she’ll have to marry. At least his devilish charm and good looks keep society fixated on him and not her.

But scandal becomes the least of Amelie’s worries when she embarks upon an engagement tour. She’ll need to convince the aristocracy that her arranged marriage is a true love match…without falling in love. Just when she thinks she has it all under control, the prince reveals a secret that suggests he might not be the man she thought. In fact, he might not be a prince at all…

Can Amelie juggle a world of fashion, unexpected espionage, and dating her not-so-fake fiancé? Or will her closed-off heart prove to be her biggest hurdle yet?

Married by Scandal is the third book in the Arranged Marriages of the Fae series, a multi-author collaboration of romantic fantasy stand-alone novellas, designed to be read independently. Together, they feature arranged marriages in fae fantasy and offer complete romances while also allowing the reader to enjoy a variety of tones and approaches. Perfect for romantic fantasy readers with busy lives who love swoony romance.

Married by Scandal is set in the same world as The Fair Isle Trilogy and the Entangled with Fae series. Journey back to Faerwyvae or start your adventure here for the first time!

This standalone fantasy romance about a human woman and a dryad elf will have you turning pages all night long.

A woman hiding a terrifying secret. A dryad prince fighting the beast inside him. A forbidden love that will lead to bloodshed.

Isa longs to escape her abusive employers and see the world, but on a ship, it feels impossible. When a storm wrecks the ship and throws her onto a seemingly deserted island, for the first time, she is more than arm’s length from her oppressors. Maybe now she’ll have the space to uncover the secret her body is hiding from her…

Viridi was raised to be a protective beast for his people—the Thorned One. But something is wrong with him. Very wrong. His father, the king, doesn’t believe him and refuses to use caution in his efforts to push Viridi to shift into this new form.

When Isa and Viridi meet on the storm-lashed beach, a powerful fated bond irrevocably links their hearts. But the king will sooner kill Isa than allow them to be together. With Viridi losing more of himself by the day and Isa’s enemies rising once more, their situation grows deadly serious.

Will their connection survive the coming storm? What must they sacrifice for their love?

“We never steal children. We only swap them. An eye for an eye, a child for a child.”

Aiden must retrieve the Sword Master from demon territory.

The mission doesn’t go entirely to plan, and Aiden falls dangerously in love with the Swordsmaster, Keera. She’s pretty as a fae, and a strong, graceful fighter.

With every movement she makes, he falls harder. Keera and Aiden both ignore the warnings, marry, and have two beautiful daughters.

Meanwhile, Keera’s swords, forged with cold iron, and adorned with silver and gold, have angered the fae—and most especially King Hades and Persephone who rule FaerLand.

Determined to pay the humans back, Queen Persephone orders two fae underlings, Lettie and Zadie to switch their changelings for Keera and Aiden’s children.

Lettie’s heart breaks as Zadie tears her beloved changeling, Nada, from her hands and replaces her with a snotty human child. Now, the one person she loved in all the world is gone, she will do anything to bring Nada back…

…including killing Keera and Aiden to end the fairy bargain.

Ever since a horrifying incident that got me turned into a vampire at two, life has been hell. My mother disowned me, and I can barely have friends or attend school. And if the authorities find me out? I’m toast.

I thought moving to the city would help me blend in, but boy, was I wrong. When the authorities catch on to me, I get kidnapped…um, rescued by Xavier Lovelli, an impossibly hot Mage who’s full of himself. He’s also a roper for Supernaturals Underground, a magical, hidden city.

At least here, I don’t have to hide anymore. But I must earn my keep. Supernaturals are going missing all over the city, including my father. The demon mayor is rounding us up for some diabolical plan, and the Underground wants me to help them fight.

Oh, and Xavier has magically bound me to him so that we’re forced to fight together. What the hell? Time to knock him down a notch.

Or maybe I won’t have to. Xavier’s got his own scars, and we have bigger things to worry about. Turns out, I’m wanted personally by the mayor and special, and that’s never good news in the Supernatural world.
