Hidden fangs.

Not so hidden hearts.

Millicent Layne has been hiding in plain sight, a delicate existence that her fangs threaten to expose whenever her emotions spike. When a last-ditch effort to stall her arranged marriage goes awry causing her brother Andrei to go missing, she needs Ellis Dacre's help to find him. Nothing more. But as the autumn days roll on, every cozy inn and toasty tavern chips away at Millie's secret and the walls she built around her heart.

Ellis Dacre is a carpenter with calloused hands, a gentle soul, and dreams bigger than the small town of Balcott. His sights are set on the capital guild-until Millicent Layne enters his life and his best friend Carolyn vanishes. In a desperate search between falling leaves and starry nights at sea, Millie and Ellis uncover a connection between them that stretches beyond this life.

And a conspiracy poised to eradicate Millie's people forever.

The cozy charm of Rebecca Thorne's Tomes & Tea series meets the mystery and stakes of T. Kingfisher’s Swordheart in this fated mates vampire romantasy novel, complete with hidden fangs, high stakes, cozy breaks, and a HEA guarantee.
