Married to Magic · #1
A Deal with the Elf King
Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and Uprooted, this stand-alone, fantasy romance about a human girl and her marriage to the Elf King is impossible to put down!
The elves come for two things: war and wives. In both cases, they come for death.
Three-thousand years ago, humans were hunted by powerful races with wild magic until the treaty was formed. Now, for centuries, the elves have taken a young woman from Luella's village to be their Human Queen.
To be chosen is seen as a mark of death by the townsfolk. A mark nineteen-year-old Luella is grateful to have escaped as a girl. Instead, she's dedicated her life to studying herbology and becoming the town's only healer.
That is, until the Elf King unexpectedly arrives... for her.
Everything Luella had thought she'd known about her life, and herself, was a lie. Taken to a land filled with wild magic, Luella is forced to be the new queen to a cold yet blisteringly handsome Elf King. Once there, she learns about a dying world that only she can save.
The magical land of Midscape pulls on one corner of her heart, her home and people tug on another... but what will truly break her is a passion she never wanted.
A Deal with the Elf King is a complete, stand-alone novel, inspired by the tales of Hades and Persephone, as well as Beauty and the Beast, with a "happily ever after" ending. It's perfect for fantasy romance fans looking for just the right amount of steam and their next slow-burn and swoon-worthy couple.

Read full series description
At its core, Married to Magic is about power and choice, love and sacrifice. The women at the center of these tales are not passive players; they are forceful, complex characters who must navigate not only the complicated politics of their new worlds but also the shifting, sometimes treacherous, emotions that come with marrying beings whose powers are beyond their comprehension. These are relationships that evolve against a backdrop of ancient magic, courtly intrigue, and heart-stopping romantic tension.
The series excels at weaving breathtaking world-building with intimate character development. Each novel introduces a unique setting—whether it’s the dark forests ruled by the fae or the stark, eerie landscapes where vampires dwell—and builds a rich tapestry of traditions, loyalties, and hidden dangers. The bonds formed between the protagonists and their magical counterparts are anything but ordinary, creating a space where love is earned, tested, and transformed in the face of unimaginable challenges.
What sets this series apart is its tone: atmospheric, slow-burn, and intensely emotional. Married to Magic doesn’t rush into romance or action; instead, it lets the tension build, allowing readers to become as enchanted with the characters’ journeys as with the magic that surrounds them. There’s a delicate balance of light and dark, with moments of vulnerability that make these supernatural unions feel grounded and personal.
In each book, there’s an underlying sense of danger, of things not being as they seem, creating a constant pull to keep turning the page. But more than that, Married to Magic is about discovery—the discovery of strength, trust, and ultimately, the magic that exists not just in the world, but within the characters themselves.
For those who crave complex romances set in intricate, magical worlds, this series offers an experience that stays with you long after you’ve closed the book. With its unique blend of power, romance, and deep character exploration, it’s a journey that’s as unforgettable as the magic that fuels it.
