Snatching Starlight (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798300095062)

Book one of The Heart Light Series: Snatching Starlight, is an enemies-to-lovers faery shifter romantasy novella, set in Newfoundland, Canada.

Two lonely hearts are burned by their sordid pasts. Love is the last thing on both their minds, but it's impossible to ignore the unearthly pull they feel towards each other.

Flick has a savior complex. Evie is hyper-independent.

All of Faerie is out to get them both.

She just wants a night out on the town to forget about her cheating ex-boyfriend, Josh.

He just wants to collect his last two human souls.

Neither of them wants the nightmare that befalls them both the moment the pair meet, but sometimes destiny is something you NEED.

Follow Evie and Flick in this first installment of The Heart Light Series, Snatching Starlight, as they face their fears, and find safety in each other, one catastrophe at a time.

Evie
There is no upside to being an orphan.
The pay sucks.
There's no good publicity.
And everyone looks at you with those sad, baby cow eyes the second they find out you have no family.
I wonder how they'd look at me if they saw the scars beneath my skin?
My boyfriend Josh sees them, and I don't know if he'll ever look at me the same way again.
Maybe the lonely just aren't built for intimacy... maybe I'm not.

Flick
Faerie children aren't like human children, they don't need a mother's love to grow.
My stick-limbed scarecrow's body ran wild and muddy between the trees, feeding on deer milk and twig berries until she found me: Faery Queene Rhea.
She made me hers in every way, an assassin to fill her darkest shadow.
Rhea's brutal love is worth any punishment. It's the only love I've ever known, and I need it. I need to save her. Almost as much as I need to save myself.

Flick of the Wilds has to go home.

Fae Magic isn't the same at the boundary line, it's weaker, a failing sort of trickery. But a banished elf has limited options, and Faery Queene Rhea presides over them all.

He has 2 years, 2 months and 2 days to collect 200 human souls for the one girl-child he failed to silence. Only two remain when he meets her, the woman who sparks his heart light to life. Yet no human has ever been soul bound to one of the Fae. So how can this mere human light him up thus, and why does he feel this surge of familiarity whenever he looks at her?

Evie's trying to forget about Josh (preferably with a drink the size of her head) when she's plunged into Flick's world of magic, monsters, and Faerie madness.

But she can definitely save herself, OK? No damsels here.

That is, if she can manage to stop Flick from making her one... and he's so sure she needs saving.
