Star Touched: Fae Bound

Sapphire Hayes feels trapped. Stuck in her quiet Maine town, bound to a dead-end relationship, and hidden behind the bar at the Maple Pig, where she serves drinks that magically soothe souls—although she doesn’t know why. Then, when her boyfriend proposes under a meteor shower and she says no, he storms off, leaving her stranded in the woods. Angry and lost, Sapphire drinks from a stream to calm her mind. She blacks out—only to wake high in a tree, staring down at a breathtaking man crouched over her lifeless body, with a prowling leopard at his side.

Sapphire Hayes didn’t come to the fae realm to fall in love with a prince—or to become a fugitive from his court. But after surviving the Winter Trials, nothing is the same. Riven killed his own knights to protect her. And Sapphire made a dangerous deal that binds her fate to his: brew a forbidden potion to save his father’s mind… or lose her only chance of getting home. Then Zoey is taken by a dark-winged monster.

When Sapphire Hayes learned she was fae, it was shocking enough. Finding out she’s half-fae, half-vampire—a combination that shouldn’t exist—is something else entirely. Because it’s a secret she has to keep from everyone. Even from Riven. The cold, calculating, irresistible winter prince who miraculously let her in.

After an arrow from the god of love twists her fate, Sapphire Hayes’ feelings for the fae prince she once loved—Riven Draevor—have been warped beyond recognition. Every time he touches her, pain rips through her body. Every time he speaks, she wants to strike him down. But she’s trapped. Bound to him by an unbreakable deal and forced into an alliance between the Summer and Winter Courts.

Sapphire Hayes is bound to a winter prince who no longer knows how to love her, and chosen by a goddess who expects her to save the world. Riven Draevor, the Prince of the Winter Court, loved Sapphire—until he bargained that love away in a fae deal to save her life, leaving him cold, hollow, and haunted. Now they’re forced into a political marriage, ready for war, and pulled into the Cosmic Tides—a realm of starlight, fate, and memory, where the future is written in blood and the past refuses to stay buried.
