A novel by

 
 
One fae woman. One royal marriage tournament. One unforgettable team of competitors.

Lady Katrina Bellflower, the mixed-blood steward of Larkwood, is in charge of a secluded fae territory on the brink of expansion. But the good fortune of the people she governs is about to become her downfall. The queen of Elfhaven has declared a tournament, and the winning team of fae males will be bonded to a mysterious, unnamed courtier—Lady Katrina. Kat might not like the idea, but one doesn't say no to the queen of Elfhaven when she demands entertainment.

Kat dreads the idea of being bonded to strangers. She isn't allowed to reveal her identity, and she isn't supposed to play favorites. But she finds a way to get to know the teams of fae males who may soon share her home and her title by posing as a palace gossip. Kat’s heart is torn between duty and longing as she is forced to conceal her true identity and her real role in the tournament. Despite her best efforts to remain impartial, the powerful, alluring men of Raven team kindle a fire she cannot ignore, and she finds herself yearning for them to win. But someone else has other ideas.

As the tournament progresses, all thoughts of future happiness are shadowed by the specter of sabotage. Lady Katrina discovers that there is more at stake than her bonding and the stewardship of Larkwood. Nothing is ever as it seems when ancient, mercurial fae royals are involved.

At this rate, it will be a wonder if the men of Raven team even manage to survive the Game of Hearts, let alone emerge as champions.
