Description

A human girl in want of a husband. A fae lord of a court on the brink. Caution: pumpkin spice ahead.It's Halloween night in Sleepy Hollow, and Katty is desperate to find a husband. When prime target Ichabod flees into the woods, Katty steals her friend's horse and chases after him—only to encounter a frightening spirit on horseback. While stumbling through the misty woods, Katty finds herself in an enchanted fae manor. As Lord of the Hollow Court, low fae Braam hosts the Samhain revel each year, an event that draws high fae from international courts—including his liege and secret lover, Madeleif. Despite his efforts to perfect every detail of the revel and save his Court, Braam is irresistibly drawn to Madeleif, right under her royal mate's nose. But this year's revel must go off without a hitch: if Braam can't prove his court's worth, the Hollow Court will be absorbed into the merciless Court of Claws. After Katty is discovered in his pantry, Braam scrambles to save a human girl he's never met instead of returning to the woman he loves. Will Katty and Braam be each other's salvation? Or is a single human girl all it takes to topple the Hollow Court for good? This fae Sleepy Hollow retelling and age gap romance is the first in a series of interconnected, standalone romantic fantasy novels, each set during a different time of year in fae courts around the world.Note: Lord of the Fae Court is intended for mature readers and contains spicy romantic scenes, nudity, abusive language from a parent, an abusive relationship and an instance of dubious consent outside the primary romance.
