Petals and Poison: A Steamy Romantasy Novella with Fae Magic, Fake Dating, and Dangerous Desire

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.


🔥 What You Can Expect

Petals and Poison is perfect for readers who love:

  • Steamy romantasy / adult fantasy romance
  • Paranormal romance with fae and magical creatures
  • Urban fantasy romance (modern Boston setting)
  • Fake dating → real feelings
  • Forced proximity
  • Grumpy, magic-proof detective
  • Soft but powerful pixie heroine
  • High tension, danger, and a protective hero
  • A short, addictive read (approx. 25k words)

This is a spicy adult novella blending romance, magic, and suspense—with emotional depth and undeniable chemistry.


🌙 Where It Fits in the Frostborne Legacy

While Petals and Poison is a standalone romantasy novella, it exists within the wider Frostborne Legacy universe.

  • 📖 Frostbird Reborn — Available now
  • 🌸 Petals and Poison — Coming soon
  • 🎃 Frostbird Awaken — Releasing around Halloween

If you’ve already read Frostbird Reborn, you may recognize elements of the world—and possibly spot a few hidden connections.

Romantasy Books With Morally Grey Love Interests You’ll Fall For (and Maybe Regret)

There’s just something about a fantasy love interest who walks the knife’s edge between salvation and destruction. The one who could kiss you breathless or burn your kingdom down. The one who swears he’ll protect you—unless you get in his way. If you're like me, morally grey love interests are your ultimate romantasy weakness. Maybe it started with Rhysand. Or the Darkling. Or that brooding vampire who only drinks bad guys’ blood (except when he's tempted by yours). Either way, this post is for you: a roundup of the fantasy bad boys we shouldn’t love—but can’t help obsessing over.

🖤 What Makes a Morally Grey Love Interest So Addictive?

It’s the tension. The danger. The delicious uncertainty.


These characters aren’t cookie-cutter heroes. They’re kings, rebels, monsters, and mercenaries—sometimes all at once. They challenge the heroine, test her strength, and (if we're lucky) reveal just enough vulnerability to keep us guessing.


They may not be good. But they’re never boring.

💬 Why We Love Them Anyway

Maybe it's the way they almost do the right thing. The way they protect her when no one else will. Or maybe it's just the tension—how every glance feels like it could lead to a kiss or a war.


Romantasy is full of beautiful monsters. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
