On Valentine's Day, master chocolatier Elise Harper finishes a single box of rose-infused truffles for a client who won't give a name. The delivery takes her to a quiet mansion at the edge of town. One touch from the man who answers the door shatters the disguise around him and pulls her through the Heart's Veil into the perilous shine of the Seelie Court.
Prince Lirien Goldthorn has lived for centuries under a curse that drains his feelings, leaving his heart-bond thin and fading. Elise's mortal touch does what fae magic never could. It wakes sensation. Want. A connection that could save him or ruin them both.
Swept into candlelit balls, shifting illusions, and sharp-edged court politics, Elise learns her presence steadies Lirien in dangerous ways. Attraction grows fast and consuming, even as courtiers circle, seeing her as leverage or a liability. Staying means risking everything she knows. Leaving might end the only bond keeping Lirien alive.
In a realm where glamour hides every truth, what's real enough to hold onto?

Welcome to the Roseheart Fae series where Valentine's magic pulls mortals into eternal, steamy passion with the fae who will claim them forever.
In the hidden fae realms, the Heart's Veil thins once a year on Valentine's Day when mortal longing runs hot and old magic wakes hungry. Drawn across the shimmer by roses, dreams, bargains, shadows, or frost-edged want, five human women step where they shouldn't and meet fae lords who never planned to care.
Each connection hits fast and dangerous. Desire pulls harder than sense. Court secrets start to fray. A lost artifact stirs, and the threat of war creeps closer with every choice they make. Crossing the Veil was never allowed, yet walking away proves harder than staying safe.
When the boundary fades, who decides which worlds survive?
