The Rose Gate
Once upon a time, a human girl was kidnapped by a fae prince...for her own good.
I was just minding my own business in the woods. At night. As you do when your family is as messed up as mine. When I was rudely abducted to Faerie by a grizzly bear.
Okay, so he’s actually a cursed fae prince named Leith. And yes, he did technically save me from the creepily intelligent wolves that were chasing me down. But now I’m trapped at his castle until they go away, and this prince is far from charming, what with the missing eye, and the curse, and did he cut his own hair with a sword?
I suppose it could be worse. Yes, the castle and it’s inhabitants have been cursed by the Unseelie Queen, but I don’t have a fox handmaiden back home to braid my hair every day. Or dresses that shimmer like starlight. And maybe the prince isn’t so bad, when he’s not growling at me. He might even be handsome under those scars.
But that’s besides the point. I’m going to figure out the curse this castle is under, save my new friends, and get back home before I lose my heart to this beast of a prince.
Until then, I hope there’s at least a decent library somewhere in this castle.
This sweet and cozy retelling of Snow White is a stand-alone novel in the Faerie Tale Romances series.

Cozy Pairings
Witches Brew is an earthy and softly floral fragrance that opens with warm clove and gentle spice, creating an immediate sense of familiarity. At its heart, delicate violet brings a subtle sweetness that lifts and softens the richness of dark patchouli. The base is deep and grounding, with smoky, woodsy notes that linger in the air, balanced by a soft warmth. Smooth and atmospheric, this scent feels both comforting and a little unexpected, blending warmth, earth, and soft florals into something subtly captivating.
Why we chose this: Beauty and the Beast, Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and Snow White, each retold in a fae world full of curses, Unseelie queens, charming princes, and heroines who are considerably more capable than the original stories suggested. Witches Brew carries the earthy, ancient magic of fairy tales retold in places where the old enchantments are still very much alive, the scent of forests that have been old for a very long time and castles where the curses have been waiting for exactly the right person to arrive. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the grounding warmth of patchouli and violet fill the room like a fae realm at twilight, where the old stories are still being written and the endings are yours to discover.
