Isobel Sterling is a governess with many secrets-including an uncanny ability she's been hiding her whole life, until the day arrives when she has to use it to save herself from a madman. But first she has to master it. Fast. 

Governess Isobel Sterling feels fortunate to have found a safe haven in the Montgomery household. The children are kind and the lord and lady of the house leave her alone. Just when her life seems as good as it can get, mysterious visitors arrive from abroad.

At first Isobel is flattered by the single-minded attention she receives from their handsome young guest, Matteo Garibaldi. But when girls in the village go missing, Isobel has a terrible suspicion the disappearances are linked to the darkness she can see growing behind Matteo's eyes. Filled with dread, she tries to avoid his company-until she is locked in with him for the night.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

Eighteen-year-old Isobel Pérez has a secret. After four years cooking and cleaning for the Green Court's immortal fae, she's about to marry one of their princes, Devlin Vanguard. That is, once he realizes she exists. Her approaches to getting closer aren't exactly subtle, like manipulating a path into his inner circle and packing her sketchbook with his most intimate moments, but no one looks long enough at a servant to notice-until Silas, Devlin's half brother, takes a sudden and inexplicable interest. While the fae are beautiful, the gods couldn't carve out their flaws without removing some of the good stuff too, like humility, empathy, and kindness. And Silas is no exception. When he discovers Isobel's sketchbook, his silence comes at a steep price. An ancient curse plagues the Green Court, rotting the king by day and turning him into a bloodthirsty beast by night. To find a cure, and more importantly, get her sketchbook back, Isobel must transcribe a series of ciphers in the Green Court's deadly underbelly. Doing so will reveal long buried secrets, like how Isobel isn't the only one with a dangerous obsession. As the line between aversion and attraction blurs, a risky bond forms between the mortal servant and fae prince-a bond that was never meant to last. There's a rotten core behind the glitz and glamor of the Green Court. One full of ambition, desire, and betrayal.
