Single mom Harper Quinn stopped believing in fairy tales a long time ago. Then a whispered Valentine's wish splits the Heart's Veil and calls Ronan to her door the sharp-smiled trickster of the Wild Court. One year. One binding bargain. Play his dangerous games in a realm of glamour and shadow, or lose everything she's built.
Ronan isn't just a pretty liar with clever riddles. Behind the teasing and silver words is a solitary guardian, sworn to protect a shattered artifact that could fuse the mortal and fae worlds or set rival courts at war. As the games turn closer, the pull between them grows harder to ignore. Late-night truths. A brush of fingers. Secrets traded in low voices. Harper's defenses thin, and Ronan's careful distance slips.
But the deal carries a hidden cost. Finish it, and chaos may spill loose. Break it, and the price is the one thing Harper won't gamble her daughter. Caught between duty, desire, and a mother's fierce resolve, Harper has to match wits with the ultimate trickster.
Can a mortal heart change the rules of ancient magic?

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?
