Summary
Helping a faerie is treason. Following one into his world? A risk only someone falling apart would take.
When Elain Archeron saves an injured Lucien Vanserra in the woods behind her practice, she tells herself it’s the right thing to do, and nothing more. But the moment his eyes open, her peaceful, yet fragile life begins to unravel. And when a powerful figure threatens to expose her secrets and sully her reputation, she calls in a favour and flees to Prythian.
Caught in the fire-lit snare of Autumn Court politics, Elain must rely on her healer’s instincts and stubborn heart to survive. But Lucien... gorgeous, mysterious and oh-so-alluring Lucien has secrets of his own, a family he can’t trust, and a pull she can’t seem to ignore.

I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you.
Elain Archeron thought she had it all until she catches her fiancé sleeping with another woman a week before they're supposed to be married. Forced to re-evaluate her entire life in the city she'd always dreamed of living in. Blind sighted when her ex-fiancé informs her he's taking his mistress on their honeymoon, Elain decides to move back in with her dad in his countryside home just until she's back on her feet.
Lucien Vanserra swore he was done with Elain Archeron when he learned the news of her engagement. Setting aside his childhood crush, Lucien gets on with his life, makes new friends, and starts a good job in the town he'd grown up in. The black sheep of the Vanserra family, Lucien tries to keep a low profile despite his elder brother's constant meddling. He's not looking for love.
When Lucien and Elain reconnected on the dock behind her childhood home, sparks fly instantly and Elain is forced to reconsider what she wants out of her life, and if there's a place for Lucien in it.
