A woman enters a marriage of convenience for duty’s sake, then falls in love with her prince husband. Polly Barrington must uncover the true nature of her new husband. Because he’s not the autocratic, arrogant, controlling man she thought she married for the sake of her family. Instead, Prince Raschid is breaking down the carefully constructed barriers around her heart, leaving her nowhere to hide. Between passion-filled nights in his desert palace and glorious days beneath the sultry sun, Polly wonders if she should resist the intense attraction between them, or trust her husband with her heart and give herself to him completely.

In the kingdom of Calatini, an enchanted ballgown and a magical evening can change everything. Orphanage matron Kiera didn't expect that sneaking into a masquerade wearing a bespelled ballgown would lead to a magical evening with the king, but for King Devon, it couldn't be more perfect. Kiera is intelligent, compassionate, and strong, everything he longs to find in a wife... and a queen. And Devon needs a queen now: a generations-old treaty with the nightmara herds is due for renewal, and the matriarchal nightmara deal only with women. Yet when he asks Kiera to marry him, she can't believe he's serious—he's the king and far above her station. So to prove his love and win her heart, Devon convinces Kiera to act as his betrothed to negotiate with the nightmara for the good of the kingdom. But once the treaty is signed, Kiera is certain their love affair will come to an end. She'll return to her life at the orphanage, and Devon will find a suitable noblewoman to marry. Because surely a king couldn't really marry a poor commoner like Kiera... right? The Nightmara Affair is a heartwarming Cinderella romance with a steel-willed heroine and a noble, kind-hearted hero. This rags-to-riches love story is part of the Calatini Tales series of Regency-inspired historical fantasy romance novels.

Calatini is a kingdom suffused with magic. But strong spells come with high prices...

Lord Beza—Hawke, to his friends—is a notorious rake, but he can't stop thinking about the mysterious lady who seduced him at the summer masquerade then disappeared. Fortunately, she left behind a clue: a small enchanted bird. And his clever best friend Wren will surely help him in his search—after all, wouldn't she want him to find love? Never having dreamt Hawke would hunt for her, Wren is desperate to convince him to forget his "mysterious" lady—otherwise the enchanted bird will extract a growing price from them both.

The Regency-inspired kingdom of Calatini is filled with magic and tender romance. But even in Calatini, magic comes with a cost, and sometimes a curse can become a blessing. Kit, the young, widowed Countess of Blaine, must remarry. She's already chosen the perfect husband—except she can't stand his kisses. But on Longnight, the Goddess blesses her with a powerful illusion: Kit shall appear a hideous crone until she becomes who she was meant to be. Before anyone from court sees her, she flees to the one person she knows shall help—Mel, the gentleman she loved as a girl who is now a priest for the Goddess. Mel, the middle son of a wealthy duke but called to serve the Goddess, has been avoiding Kit since discovering her cruel lies separated his brother from the girl he loved. But when Kit begs Mel for his help, he feels compelled to agree for the sake of the devout and tender girl he'd once loved. But no one can break the Goddess's illusion, not even a wise elf or a powerful seer. So with Mel's support, Kit settles into life at the Goddess's temple. She and Mel continue to clash, and those clashes soon lead to passionate kisses—ones she actually enjoys. But a priest would never marry an unworthy lady like her, and she can't live the rest of her life as a crone. Somehow, Kit must break her unwanted illusion, forget about Mel, and return to court where she belongs. Yet the Goddess's plans are not so easy to foil, and she has other ideas for Kit and Mel. The Goddess's Illusion is Jane Austen meets Howl's Moving Castle, with the outpouring of magic, fantasy, and clean romance that make the Calatini Tales beloved. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "As I continue to read the stories in the Calatini world, I'm completely captured by the writing of Katherine Dotterer ... the romance in this is mostly clean and certainly swoonworthy."
