About this book
She’s been told she’s too much. He’s been told he’s not enough. They’re about to make a secret deal to keep both their families happy ... At a twelve-day midwinter house party at one of the grandest estates in the United Fae Isles, Lady Aveline Thornhart—still reeling from a magical debut that went spectacularly wrong—must be the perfect lady to salvage her reputation, while the incorrigible Lord Bastian Blackbriar has been sent by his family to court her and plans to sabotage the match by being thoroughly himself. When his attempts to provoke the infuriatingly perfect Aveline lead to a confrontation where all their cards end up on the table, they strike a deal: a fake courtship, just convincing enough to satisfy both their families, after which they’ll part ways and call it settled. But forced proximity has a way of undoing the best-laid plans … For fans of swoon-without-spice romance, sparring partners with delicious competitive energy, and a glittering Regency-inspired world where the magic is as cozy as a crackling hearth. Series Timeline Note: This story takes place the winter before TEMPESTS & TEA LEAVES (Jasvian and Iris's story). It can be read at any point in The Charmed Leaf Legacy series.

Ileana E.Another great book to enjoy♥️♥️
"I don’t know how the author does it, but every book she writes from these beautiful series I enjoy from the bottom of my 💜. I am truly glad this turn out to be a whole book instead of a side story hahaha. I would say this book could be considered as a prequel. Everything happened before even Iris and Jasvian met each other. It was really nice to see a little bit of each Rowanwood sibling, their mom and lady Rivenna. I really liked Bastian as ML, I love charming characters, specially when they finally realize how much they love their special person. Aveline was a great FL as well, I loved her magic and how comfortable she could be in Bastian’s presence since he learned who she really was inside. Also, I was very surprised how loving was the relationship between Aveline and her grandmother. Many times these matriarchs are the ones who give the most trouble when it comes to something they don’t like or never listen to what their loved ones have to say because they know it all; however, even though she can be strict, she cared so much for Aveline’s happiness and was willing to listen to what she had to say and accept how she felt. This was another great book in my opinion, I can’t wait for the next one. ["
