A Real Magical Romance

One act of kindness exposes the secret she has spent her life protecting.

For years, Mara has hidden her extraordinary magic behind an ordinary life of herbs, healing, and a secluded garden. But when a child’s life hangs in the balance, she cannot stand aside. Her gift saves the girl—and awakens a bell that should never have rung.

With the Crown’s inspectors closing in, Mara finds an unexpected ally in Rowan Ashford, a battle-scarred soldier whose patience and quiet courage begin to challenge the walls around her heart.

Their search for safety uncovers something far more dangerous: hidden records, stolen magic, and a kingdom built on truths powerful people will do anything to conceal. As trust deepens into desire, Mara and Rowan must decide what they are willing to risk for each other—and for those who cannot escape alone.

A Real (Magical) Romance blends enchanting gardens, dangerous secrets, suspense, and an intimate love story about finding the courage to live beyond fear.
