Heather’s cozy life with her cryptid boyfriend just got a little more complicated.

When 23–year–old Heather started dating Mothman, she anticipated a few surprises. Getting transported to the faerie realm he was banished from? Yeah, that was a surprise.

The former influencer must trade her quiet #cottagecore aesthetic for a lavish #royalcore week in a new world filled with creatures, ballgowns, and secrets. With Moth’s family to impress, old friends resurfacing, and his memories returning, Heather begins to question their future. As the grand ball gets closer and Moth creeps out of bed in the middle of the night, Heather can’t help but wonder: can their cozy cottage in the woods compete with a castle?

A longing growing deep inside her. She knew she'd never have that life... Not in the lab. Not with them studying her every move. So she decided to do something terrifying.She escaped.

When the one you hate is the one you love, things can get a little complicated. Love and Hate are often opposite sides of the same coin and sometimes, it can be hard to find your way to love. We all have a tendency to ignore our feelings until someone walks into our lives and makes us crazy. What happens when the person you think you don’t want anything to do with, is the very person you want to spend the rest of your life with? Each story in this anthology will remind you: things are never what they seem and love can be found in the darnedest places. Thrill of the Heart is a series of stories set in an anthology playing with different romance tropes in the vein of Hallmark Romance. So, if you love a Happily Ever After, this story is for you.
