This Rough Magic

Great gifts can come in rough wrapping, and you can't judge a present by the beauty of the bow. Isolde would be the first fairy to tell you that.

Absolutely no one takes beautiful, dainty Isolde seriously. Her doting human husband said she was a fairy, and four hundred years later, he was long gone, but the fairy dust still clings to her like sugar frosting. Her men cherished the delicate china doll who needed protection, but Isolde isn't a fairy; she's a magical lord, and now lords are being hunted.

When she loses her home and her last friend disappears, Isolde buckles on her sword and sets out on a perilous journey through two warring armies towards the safety of the fabled Elf Nation - home of the powerful, magical lords and elves. Some would say the worst part of her new life is the journey. Isolde would disagree. The hard part lies ahead, and while the tough-as-nails fairy has a spine of steel, forging a new life in fairyland won't be easy.

Charming, handsome Lord Richie chased her hard - until he was kidnapped. Gruff, powerful Lord Shuck didn't chase her at all, but then disappeared searching for Richie. Isolde finds herself looking for both men.
