Book Series: Fae Realm

ABOUT THE BOOK

His show may be smoke and mirrors, but there’s no fooling the heart.

All her life, Princess Talista has hungered for every scrap of knowledge she can find about humanspace. But the Elder Court has decreed humanspace off-limits to subjects of the Fey Realm—except for two weeks of no-magic-allowed survival training.

Now it’s Tali’s turn to train, and she has no intention of wasting her time in a remote forest. Las Vegas is where the action is, and she intends to show the Elders that Sin City is a far better training ground—even if she has to go AWOL to prove it.

Jake Story’s adopted family is the definition of chaos, and choosing to be a magician in Vegas doesn’t exactly court normal. When he brings a luscious redhead onstage to hypnotize her, though, the passionate kiss they share amid a strange circle of lights definitely isn’t part of the act.

Their electric attraction is more than a simple case of boy meets fairy. It’s a link into a past Jake never knew about. A past with the power to create a rift between Fey Realm and humanspace, forcing them to make a terrible choice. A short human lifetime without magic…or an endless Fey lifetime without love.

Tropes: This royal fish out of water romance novel also includes a virgin heroine, forbidden love, and opposites attract.

Notes: SOTF was originally published by Samhain Publishing in 2008 and has been re-released with the Oxford comma reinstated where it belongs. This edition has been reedited, reformatted, and updated with a new cover but has not been substantially altered.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Magic might go by the book, but love doesn’t play by the rules.

As a crusader for justice, Embor Fiertag, Primary of the Elder Court, is forceful and tenacious. His love life, however, is a bust. His foreseen bondmate is Anisette Serendipity, whose sister nearly got him killed, and his political career barely survived the ordeal. Now up for re-election, romance is way down his priority list.

After her sister’s impulsive actions, Ani has no hope of becoming an Elder anymore. Worse, she’s drawn the eye of Elder Torval, whose attentions leave her cold. In fact, sparks of heat draw her toward Embor, but his rivalry with Torval is like flammable ink on burning paper. When Torval pushes his suit too far, Embor doesn’t hesitate to step in—right into the middle of an ugly political trap.

Forced to flee to humanspace, Embor and Ani have a slim chance to save the Realm before the Torvals shred everything from a peaceful democracy to the fabric between the worlds. But it will mean exposing their deepest vulnerabilities…and trusting their bond will survive the test.

Tropes: This political-themed romance also features tropes like an alpha hero, fated mates, animal matchmakers, cats ruling the world, and a road trip.

Note: 1000 Kisses was titled One Thousand Kisses while published by Samhain in 2011. This edition has been reedited, reformatted, and updated with a new cover but has not been substantially altered.
