A Lick Of Frost

(Merry Gentry 6)




Set in a thrilling, sensual world that is as dangerous as it is beautiful, full of earthly pleasures and dazzling magic, and ruled by the all-consuming passions of immortal beings once worshipped as gods . . . or demons, here is the sixth adventure in the original spicy Romantasy series!

Caught between rival faerie courts and deadly ambition, Meredith Gentry must navigate a web of seduction, danger, and ancient power to survive long enough to claim the throne . . .

Meredith Gentry, princess and heir apparent to the faerie throne and former private investigator in the mortal world, must bear a child to secure her crown . . . or her aunt, the ruthless Queen Andais, will place her sadistic son on the throne – and have Merry killed.

Surrounded by her devoted royal guards and lovers – her Darkness and her Killing Frost – Merry is protected but not safe. And she remains childless while the queen’s deadly schemes intensify. Seeking refuge from court intrigue, Merry and her protectors retreat to Los Angeles, but distance seems to offer little protection.

A new threat arises when Taranis, delusional king of the Seelie Court, accuses her guards of a heinous crime. If convicted, they face extradition to faerie and brutal punishment. Merry knows the charges are a lie – and suspects that Taranis’ true target is her. After all, he’s tried to kill her once already . . .
