A cozy friends-to-lovers Regency-inspired fantasy romance

Calatini Tales, Book 1

Calatini is a kingdom suffused with magic. But strong spells come with high prices…

Wren prefers a simple life of writing, reading, and volunteering at the orphanage to fashionable parties and balls at court. If she attends at all, it’s because Hawke, the best friend she’s secretly loved forever, convinces her. So when she learns his mother has arranged his marriage, she knows she must act. All she desires is a single night in Hawke’s arms, so though she distrusts magic, Wren turns to a witch to create the perfect masquerade disguise infused in an enchanted bird.

Lord Beza—Hawke, to his friends—is a notorious rake, but he can’t stop thinking about the mysterious lady who seduced him at the summer masquerade then disappeared. Fortunately, she left behind a clue: a small enchanted bird. And his clever best friend Wren will surely help him in his search—after all, wouldn’t she want him to find love?

Never having dreamt Hawke would hunt for her, Wren is desperate to convince him to forget his “mysterious” lady—otherwise the enchanted bird will extract a growing price from them both. But their night of passion is impossible for either of them to forget…

The Enchanted Bird is heartwarming, Regency-inspired fantasy romance at its finest, perfect for readers of Olivia Atwater’s Regency Faerie Tales series, Miss Newbury’s List, and Grace Burrowes’ Rogues to Riches series of historical romance novels.

Excerpt:

Hawke leaned toward her with a feverish glint in his pale-blue eyes. “Something wondrous happened at the king’s summer masquerade, and I need your advice.”

Her throat constricting, Wren rasped, “The king’s summer masquerade?” Oh, Goddess.

“Yes.” Hawke grasped her limp hands and flashed an impish grin. “I met the most delectable lady. A dryad called Rowan.”

Heat swept through her at his touch. Why was he holding her hands? Her heart skipped, and she swallowed. “Rowan?”

“Yes.” Hawke shrugged. “Although Rowan isn’t her true name, which is why I need your advice.”

“My advice?” Wren leaned away from Hawke, chill sweat trickling down her back. Was he teasing her? Had he burned the enchanted bird or not?

Hawke nodded. “To help find her.”

“Find her?” Wren’s breath froze in her chest. Hawke wanted to find Rowan? Why? He’d never pursued past lovers before. He wasn’t supposed to do that.

“Yes.” Hawke frowned as he squeezed her icy hands. “Wren, why are you repeating everything I say? Is something wrong?”

She managed a tremulous smile. “No, I’m simply surprised you want to find her.” At least he didn’t appear to realize she’d been Rowan. Perhaps he hadn’t found the enchanted bird yet, and she could sneak upstairs to retrieve it. 

“How could I not?” Hawke’s voice deepened, “‘Twas an enchanted night.”
