The Fae Court's False Engagement
A Romantasy of Feigned Love and Real Consequences

About this book:

When apothecary's niece Isobel Vance pulls a fragment of the Sunken Crown from a riverbed, she unknowingly paints a target on her back—one that brings the lethal Prince Tirian of the Winter Court crashing through her shop door. His offer is simple: play his besotted fiancée until the Solstice Feast, distract his ruthless father and murderous brother, and walk away with her uncle's debts cleared and a fortune in gold. Refuse, and the star-stone's magic will be ripped from her corpse. Isobel takes the bargain, but she has no intention of being a pawn in fae politics. She's survived poverty, debt collectors, and the mines that killed her father; a court of beautiful, sadistic immortals is just another predator to outwit.

Inside the Citadel of Frost, every smile hides a blade and every courtesy is a trap. Tirian is arrogant, freezing, and infuriatingly perceptive—but he's also the only thing standing between Isobel and the nobles who'd skin her for the power humming in her veins. As their fake courtship ignites into something dangerously real, the line between performance and truth blurs. The star-stone is waking something ancient in Isobel's blood, the Solstice deadline is closing fast, and Tirian's enemies are circling. In a realm where a misplaced word means death, the most treacherous game isn't the one they're playing for the court—it's the one they're playing with each other.

Perfect for fans of *A Court of Thorns and Roses* and *The Cruel Prince*, *The Fae Court's False Engagement* delivers slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension, a heroine who refuses to break, and a fae prince who might just be worth the risk. Step into the Winter Court—where the cold burns, the bargains bite, and love is the deadliest magic of all.
