A cozy second-chance amnesia Regency-inspired fantasy romance

Calatini Tales, Book 7

The Regency-inspired kingdom of Calatini has witches and seers, enchanted items, and mythical creatures—but nothing is stronger than the bonds of love.

Elise and Seanian have the perfect life together—almost. After three years of marriage, they’re still passionately in love and have a loving extended family. Yet despite many fertility spells, they’re still childless, and having children has been Elise’s lifelong dream.

So Elise and Seanian leave Calatini’s royal court and go on a quest to the magical isle of Orandia to consult a powerful seer about conceiving children. The Orandian seer gives them the lethe elixir, but when they take the perilous potion, it shatters their deep love and happy marriage.

With the help of their nightmara friends and loving family, Elise and Seanian must fight to fall in love all over again and break the lethe elixir’s hold on their lives to reclaim their happily-ever-after. But powerful magic is never easy to break…

This low-stakes, low-spice, and wonderfully magical second-chance amnesia romance ends with a perfect HEA. Fans of the Moonflower Witches, Legends and Lattes, and other sweet, cozy fantasy romance novels will adore The Calatini Tales.

Excerpt:

A few short hours later, Elise froze while changing for dinner, agony swamping her. She’d not need Healer Althea’s fertility-divining charm tomorrow. Her courses had begun. No tiny life had taken root inside her. Not even the inherent holy magic of Summerday had been enough to help her conceive. Just like always. She burst into tears.

After dismissing Ann and Jebb, Seanian gathered her into his arms and pressed a tender kiss against her brow, his beard caressing her skin. “What is it, my love?”

Burying her face against Seanian’s neck, she inhaled his scent to comfort herself. She murmured against him, “My courses. After Summerday, I so hoped…” She began to sob in earnest.

His arms tightening about her, Seanian sat on the bed with her curled in his lap. As she sobbed, he rocked her and rubbed her back and brushed kisses against her brow. When her tears finally slowed, he tilted her chin until their gazes met and wiped the tears from her cheeks. “I hoped too, but we’ve yet to attempt the veiled witch’s quest. And as soon as we do, I’m sure you’ll fall pregnant.”

Elise managed a watery, wobbly smile at Seanian’s attempts to hearten her. He was such a steadfastly devoted husband—’twas little wonder that she loved him. And she always would. Nothing could shatter the deep love of true mates.
