What happens when the secret keeping her alive is the very thing he has sworn to destroy?
Rosalynn has carried her secret in silence for ten years. By day she lives an ordinary life hidden in the forest. By night, she is something else entirely—a rare healing rose. She knows the rules, she knows the cost of breaking them, and she has made her peace with a quiet, hidden life. Then the brooding new king disrupts everything.
With a heart made of iron and a bitterness that consumes him, King Liam returns to claim his father's throne because duty demanded it, not because he wanted to. He has no interest in the woman who keeps appearing at the edges of his life, or in the way the sight of her threatens to undo nearly a lifetime of shutting the world out. He has survived this long by feeling nothing and he intends to keep it that way—until the day his obsession with vengeance collides with her secret, and he is forced to choose between the man he has been and the man he could become.
When the truth between them finally surfaces, will Rosalynn trust the man whose shadows once felt like her greatest threat? Can Liam open his heart before his own darkness costs them everything?
A Healing Love, a retelling of Beauty and the Beast and Swan Lake, is a clean no spice romance, with tropes like Grumpy/Sunshine, Secret Identity, and Love Heals All Wounds.
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
