One lives in the light. The other thrives in shadow.
At the Leafshire Cove book faire, rom-com author Colette Amelot wants only two things: a mug of spiced cider and a long line at her signing table. She definitely does not want to accidentally kiss a reclusive thriller writer-especially not in front of half the kingdom.
But when a wobbling tower of iced cookies, one startled vampire, and an ill-timed trip collide, the resulting kiss becomes instant legend. The town heralds are delighted. The gossip mills are relentless. And a gleeful publisher sees opportunity.
Now Colette is contractually obligated to co-write a short Snowlight story with Archer Darkheart-the shadow-eyed vampire whose thrillers curdle cream and whose glare could stop a heartbeat.
When the deadline forces them to work from Colette's sentient inn-an opinionated building that creaks in disapproval, rearranges rooms at will, and has very strong feelings about romance-things only grow more complicated.
She believes in joy, laughter, and happily-ever-afters. He believes in structure, solitude, and the slow ache of tragedy.
They can't agree on a chapter title, let alone a kiss scene. But as quills clash, tempers spark, and those damn cookies mysteriously keep appearing, their fictional collaboration blurs into something dangerously real.
Sometimes the best plot twist isn't written on the page-it's standing beside you, stealing your quill, and reminding you that love, like magic, is always worth the risk.
