Falling for the Wolf: A Villainous Twist on Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella
A woman who betrayed her family
A rogue hiding a hairy secret
And a blackmail arrangement with unexpected consequences
After her stepsister marries the crown prince, Tasia is shipped out of the country to live with relatives she’s never heard of before. Blamed and scorned for her role in that debacle, Tasia struggles to make a new life for herself amongst a community that doesn’t care for outsiders. But even that is less nerve wracking than her weekly trips through the woods to deliver a basket of “goodies” to the sinister old woman known only as Grandmother.
Mitch helped a naive girl travel through the woods once before. After having his heart viciously yanked out and stomped on, he’s not doing that ever again. When Tasia comes along, all innocent smiles and no sense of self-preservation, he vows to stay far away. But she stumbles upon his furry little secret and he reluctantly agrees to play protector in exchange for her silence.
What seems like a simple arrangement soon becomes complicated as enemies from the past begin cropping up in unexpected places. When Mitch and Tasia stumble onto a villainous plot with far-reaching consequences they must choose between looking out for themselves or risking everything for faceless strangers. With lives–and possibly their hearts–on the line, how will two recovering villains decide what to do? And will their choices be compatible? Or just another betrayal?
Falling for the Wolf is a retelling that combines elements of Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella. Set after the events of each of these stories, this no spice romantasy is the 8th book in the To Win a Dark Heart series which retells fairy tales as old as time, but this time it’s the villain’s turn to get a happy ending.

Megan Charlie
Megan Charlie’s journey into writing wasn’t a straight path—it was more of a winding road lined with daydreams and half-finished ideas. She’s the kind of author who learned to read before kindergarten, aced every school writing assignment, and yet, it wasn’t until adulthood that the spark to write her own novel truly ignited. But even then, her busy mind often made finishing a project feel like chasing a shadow. It was only through time, patience, and a bit of creative persistence that Megan finally turned those fragmented thoughts into full-fledged stories.
To Win a Dark Heart
In this shadow tinged collection, familiar fairy tales tilt just slightly off their axis. The stories linger where old legends rarely pause, inside the thoughts of characters who usually stand at the edges of the light. The series, To Win a Dark Heart, follows figures shaped by curses, broken loyalties, and the kind of longing that thrives where magic and danger meet.
To Win a Dark Heart consists of one book and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of eleven more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
