"Everything Mariana writes is pure gold . . . a true gift to romance readers everywhere" ALI HAZELWOOD, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Beautifully heartfelt, funny and addictive

Queen of the slow burn

To be clichΓ©: the words come alive

?? ?? Once upon a time, a girl found a magical puppy, and her life was never the same again. ?? ??

Nina Popoca needs help.

So, so much of it.

The only place she can find that help is on a sprawling ranch in Colorado. A place hiding more than a community filled with magical creatures trying to live their lives in safety and in peace. A village that might hold the answers to questions she's had her entire life.

And if that ranch is owned by her best friend's hunky cousin?

...there are worse things in the world than having to live right by Henri Blackrock.
