Crown of Thorns #948315

A steamy standalone fantasy romance about a cursed fae prince bound by ancient magic—and the mortal healer who might be the only one who can break his chains.
Monster. Tyrant. Cursed.
The Prince of Winter has ruled his frozen court with an iron fist for centuries. But when a prophecy surfaces, revealing that only a mortal's willing sacrifice can break the curse slowly turning him to ice, he knows he'll need more than cruelty to survive. Ancient riddles, enchanted relics, treacherous allies—nothing will deter him from his goal, though none of his calculated strategies prepare him for her, the defiant healer who thaws his frozen heart like no other…
Gentle. Brave. Deceiver.
The trouble with fae princes and their wicked bargains is that they always demand more than they offer, a truth Elara Nightshade discovers after one fateful mistake binds her to Winter's most dangerous ruler. To save her dying sister, Elara is forced to strike a deal with the Prince of Winter, never expecting his quest will unlock powers she never knew she possessed...
Together, Winter and Elara must journey through the treacherous Fae Realms—from the crystalline ice palaces to the shadowed courts of the Dark Fae and beyond—while trying to resist the most forbidden temptation of all: falling in love.
