A fairytale fantasy romance between a witch in hiding and a prince bound by duty, set in haunted woods where magic is feared. Slow-burn forbidden love, wounded hearts and a kingdom's expectations standing between them.
A Witch In Hiding. A Prince Off Course. A Love Neither Can Afford.
When a prince appears on a witch's doorstep, lost and injured, she lets him into her home. But she's determined that her heart will remain tightly locked, and he'll never have the key.
When Alma's rare magical affinity brings witch hunters down on her family, she abandons all she knows. For a decade she conceals herself, estranged from a world that misunderstands her powers.
Prince Lorenzo grapples with the obligations of his position, including the expectation that he marry a princess. A rescue mission meant to appease his royal parents strands him in haunted woods, injured and alone.
Fate guides Lorenzo to Alma's sanctuary, where a fragile bond blooms between the prince and the wary witch. Yet societal strictures and Alma's self-imposed barriers threaten to sunder them. Their hearts yearn for a forbidden path, but Lorenzo's departure is inevitable, and so is his duty to his kingdom.
While Alma wrestles with her grief, her magic and her long-held guilt over her parents' deaths, Lorenzo faces the choice that'll decide them both: duty, or true love.

“This is one of those reads that has you forgetting what time it is and cursing the book when you realize you've stayed up till 2 AM." -Reader Review”
Cara is a native desert dweller in southern Arizona, where she lives with her husband, two children, and their dog. Her biggest dream as a little girl was to be a writer. She has a degree in psychology and creative writing. An award winning poet, her debut novel published in 2022.
A “joyful girl” at her core, she finds inspiration in music, desert skies, and the bittersweet magic of everyday life. Her books blend witchy fantasy stories with themes of healing, identity, and chosen family. When she’s not writing or reading, you’ll find her listening to various genres of music, soaking in nature, or savoring moments with her kids — always creating, always feeling, always telling stories that matter. Her favorite coffee is a decaf brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso, despite the obnoxiously long name.
"I do it for the joy it brings / because I am a joyful girl. / And the world owes me nothing / but we owe each other the world." Joyful Girl by Ani DiFranco
