For fans of The Cruel Prince and those who always wanted to see Draco end up with Hermione, this enemies to lovers fake dating romance is sure to entice.

A crime lord's daughter, a vampire with a secret, and the bed of lies that will seal their fate.

Though her father is a powerful crime lord and leader of a reclusive assassins guild, Bronwyn has always had to work hard to get what she wants.

The ancient spellbook she has her eye on is no exception.

She will do what it takes to get her hands on that kind of power, even if she has to pretend to be a student to earn the trust of its caretaker.

But when she discovers that her handsome but cruel first year tormentor is actually a vampire with his own plans for the academy, Bronwyn's life is put in danger. If his associates learn that she knows of a growing vampire infestation, they will kill her.

Though neither is eager to work together—to save her life—they enter into an uneasy pact. A fake romance to fool everyone around them while they continue to work to their own ends. They don't need to get along or even trust each other, they just have to make the world believe that they are madly in love.

And yet this devious vampire has a way of making the spark of their affections feel a bit too convincing.

Trapped by Magic is the 2nd book in Of Seas and Tides, a multi-author series of romantic fantasy novellas designed to be read in any order (but read mine first, haha!). Each standalone features a villain who gets their happily ever after in a swoony, swashbuckling romance.

A necromancer, A ghost hunter, And the headless horseman that threatens to make them both members of the undead.

Natasya is a heretic, a necromancer, and the daughter of a crime lord. But she plays a very convincing role in making everyone believe that she's just an innocent beauty and the daughter of a wealthy merchant. None are so fooled as her fiancé Brom the Bones, a man she is marrying to lay a claim on his inheritance: an ancient spellbook full of deadly conjuration spells.

But when Evengi, a priest of Neltruna arrives at the town of Sunder Hollow, Natasya begins wondering if she truly wants to marry Brom. Perhaps it is the draw of the forbidden or the thrill of flirting with danger, but she finds herself unable to resist this ghost hunter.

Until Brom disappears and his spellbook with him.

Natasya is convinced that Evengi and his jealousy had something to do with Brom's disappearance, but Evengi claims it was Natasya herself who made her betrothed vanish. Each sets out to find proof of their claims. However, while they are busy pointing fingers at each other, there is something dark stirring in the mass grave of Heretic's Rest. Something that threatens both Natasya and Evengi.

Something that lost its head and is now out for blood.
