Petals and Poison: A Steamy Romantasy Novella with Fae Magic, Fake Dating, and Dangerous Desire
If you love steamy romantasy, fae magic, insta-connection, and a touch of danger, then my upcoming novella Petals and Poison might be your next obsession.
Set in the same world as the Frostborne Legacy, this story is a standalone urban fantasy romance with no direct connection to Frostbird Reborn or the upcoming sequel Frostbird Awaken (coming around Halloween).
That said… keep an eye out. These characters may appear again in future stories 👀
This novella was written as a palette cleanser—something short, sweet, and spicy for readers waiting for the next full-length book in the series.
And yes… it absolutely brings the heat.
🌸 What is Petals and Poison About?
Rosilina runs the most enchanting flower shop in Boston—and everyone who meets her falls a little bit in love.
They can’t help it.
As a Cupidiso pixie, Rosie’s magic pulls at hearts, creating instant connection and desire. But when that magic spirals into obsession, admiration turns dangerous—and a stalker begins closing in.
Desperate to fix the imbalance her magic has caused, Rosie seeks help from the one man who shouldn’t exist.
Rowan Hale—a private investigator completely immune to magic.
Including hers.
He can’t be enchanted. Can’t be compelled. Can’t be controlled.
And yet… he’s drawn to her anyway.
What starts as a case quickly turns into something far more complicated—because for the first time in Rosie’s life, the feelings growing between them might actually be real.
