In a remote snowbound town, Valentine's Day stirs old magic. Event planner Aurora Kane arrives to run a flawless ice festival, focused on schedules and permits. She doesn't see the trap beneath the lights: a Winter Court mating hunt dressed up as celebration.
A sudden blizzard changes everything. Ice groans. Wind bites. Kai Frostfang towering enforcer pulls her from collapsing ice and names her his bondmate under a centuries-old prophecy. He's controlled, imposing, marked by betrayal. The kind of man she should avoid. Yet his cold touch sparks heat she didn't know she had, and her warmth begins to weaken the frost he lives behind.
Rival fae move fast, circling a fractured artifact that could fuse mortal and fae realms. To survive, Aurora and Kai are forced together. Close quarters. Stolen seconds. Snow melting on stone steps. Each look tightens the tie between them and sharpens the danger.
When hidden enemies strike and the truth of Kai's past surfaces, Aurora faces a choice: accept the claim that could save them both, or risk everything to walk away.
One winter. One bond. Two realms on the edge can they endure the final storm?

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?
