Welcome to an enchanting Regency-inspired kingdom where magic is used every day, but strong spells come with a price... The Spellbinding Courtship (Book 0.5): A sweet heroine, noble hero, heartwarming romance, and magic! Threatened by an evil witch and a scheming uncle, Selena flees to a brothel and meets the perfect gentleman—Aragon, a kind and dedicated heir to a wealthy duke. When he rescues her but refuses to act on their attraction, should she chose another eligible bachelor to escape her uncle? The Enchanted Bird (Book 1): A shy heroine, rakish hero, friends to lovers, and a disguise spell! Longing for a single night of passion with her best friend Hawke, Wren buys an enchanted disguise from a powerful witch. Yet her spell extracts a growing price from them both, and he soon begins hunting for his "mysterious" lover. Will their enchanted night destroy their lifelong friendship or will they finally admit their love? The Nightmara Affair (Book 2): A strong heroine, determined hero, Cinderella romance, and magical horses! After meeting King Devon at a masquerade ball, orphanage matron Kiera reluctantly agrees to act as his future queen to negotiate the treaty with the matriarchal, horse-like nightmara. But their love affair will soon end because a king can’t really marry a poor commoner… right? Fans of Juliet Marillier, the Jane Austen's Dragons series, Mary Robinette Kowal's Glamourist Histories series, and Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series will be enthralled by the Calatini Tales series of Regency-inspired historical fantasy romance novels.
