I'm a full-time single dad to three daughters and CFO at Cloverleigh Farms. I don't have time to fall in love-I'm too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar.

Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she's twenty-seven, the boss's daughter, and my new part-time nanny-which means she's completely off-limits. It's bad enough I can't stop fantasizing about her, what kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her?

(Exactly the kind of jerk you're thinking.)

Actually, I'm worse than that-because I didn't stop with a kiss, and now I can't stay away. She makes me feel like myself again. She reminds me what it's like to want something just for me. She's everything I ever needed, but nothing I ever imagined.

I'm a former Marine. I should have had the strength to resist her from the start.

But I didn't. And now I have to choose between the life I want and the life she deserves.

Even if it means giving her up.

War begins. But secrets have the power to end...everything. Fallen princess. Traitor. Queen. Forsaking her people and her birthright, Elise Lysander takes her place at the side of the new fae king of a broken land. Revered by some, hated by many, Elise's fight for her love and freedom is only beginning. As secrets of Castle Ravenspire come to light, Elise and Valen discover their enemies hold more power than they ever imagined. It will take more than blades to defeat them. Fulfilling a dangerous request from Valen's imprisoned brother. Destroying a prophecy of fate kept in the hands of Elise's brutal sister. And an unwilling alliance with a shadowed thief from a neighboring kingdom that might end in victory or more death. Blood is calling. War will answer. But for Elise and Valen this fight could be their hard-fought salvation...or a vicious end to everything they love. Filled with luscious world building, banter-filled romance, and epic battles, this final book in the Northern Kingdom is part Viking, part fairy tale.
