Dark Winter’s Night

LOVE AND FEAR DO BATTLEThe folk of Nuvinland fear the mountain forests. They are the abode of Elves and not to be trespassed upon. Katrynna doesn’t always follow that rule—and her visits to the woods have not gone unnoticed. When a mysterious stranger asks for Katrynna’s hand on behalf of his lord, she has her doubts. She’s never heard of the man, and why would a wealthy lord ask for her, a farmer’s daughter? But he offers a significant bride price and her sisters need dowries. For their sake she accepts. Then she learns she must marry by proxy. She won't even meet her husband before the wedding night. The victim of a devastating curse, Lord Taavin’s fate rests in the hands of the mortal woman he saw dancing in the forest. He has his doubts that a mere human can be trusted, but somehow he must overcome her fear of being Fey-marked and seduce her into falling in love—without using his magic. His future—and his heart—depend on it. Contains scenes of Even magic and sensual affection and may not be appropriate for younger readers.
