The first book in a dark romantasy duology, The Frost and Nectar series

On the worst birthday of my life, I come home to find my boyfriend in bed with another woman. Within hours, Iโ€™m drunk, homeless, and pledging to stay single forever. And that is when the dangerously sexy Seelie King rolls through town, looking for fae like me.

Every generation, the king holds a competition for Seelie queen. But for reasons he wonโ€™t explain, Torin is looking for a charade, not a real marriage. So when I drunkenly sling insults his way, I have his attention.

When Torin offers me fifty million to participate, I think, โ€œWhat have I got to lose?โ€ The answer turns out to be โ€œmy life,โ€ because my competition will literally kill for the crown.

And the more time I spend with the seductive king, the harder it becomes to remember itโ€™s all supposed to be fake. Now, my lifeโ€”and my heartโ€”are on the line.

Perfect for fans of:

About the Author

C.N. Crawford are Wall Street Journal bestselling authors of fantasy romance and urban fantasy--not one person but two. When they are not looking after their two energetic sons, they take turns writing drafts and revising. Christine is from Lexington, Massachusetts and has had a lifelong interest in New England folklore--with a particular fondness for creepy old cemeteries. Nick spent his childhood reading fantasy and science fiction during Vermont's long winters, which have rendered him impervious to the cold.
