She needs a bridegroom by the next full moon.
He looks like the man who betrayed her a century ago.
Can he break her spell, or is history doomed to repeat itself?

The Snow Queen surrounds herself with ice and snow to numb the losses she suffered a hundred years ago. However, with a new Blue Moon on the horizon, she has another chance to break a century-old curse. All she requires is a willing bridegroom . . . which can be tricky to find when all her previous marriages have ended in tragedy. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and in this case that means proposing to the last mortal she ever wants to see again: the man who eerily resembles her first love who quite literally broke her heart.

Prince has one goal in life: to woo and wed the legendary Snow Queen. His friends think he is under some kind of curse, but how can it be unnatural to love the most beautiful woman in the world? Unfortunately, she wants nothing to do with him— that is, until she asks him to spend the rest of his life with her. Granted, that life might be very short indeed, but Prince is willing to take that risk. Now if he can only find a way to thaw his beloved's heart before his own stops beating . . .

These violent delights have violent ends, and the line between love and madness is thin indeed.

This Thawed Heart is a loose sequel of This Frozen Heart, but it can be read on its own and has its own happily ever after. In this wintry tale you will find a no-spice reimagining of Romeo & Juliet with an enemies to lovers twist. There are vampires, a sacrificial bridegroom, forced proximity, a grumpy + sunshine pair, and true love's kiss.

She has three degrees, including a Master of Arts in Behavioral Counseling. Also, she has about five million houseplants (and counting— the plants and not the degrees . . . unless she relapses). She is still debating if having a fae husband is worth the hassle.
