Book one of To Keep and Let Go Dualogy

 

Coming out August 15th, 2025

Summary

 

When twenty-six year old Stephanie stumbles into another world, she discovers that everything she once believed was a myth... is undeniably real. Trapped on a planet where she doesn't understand the language or the rules, Stephanie must adapt quickly - with the help of only one person she can understand. What she didn't expect? A prince. A powerful, brooding air Fae who speaks in whispers and watches her like she's already his. 

 

As their connection deepens, Stephanie is pulled into a dangerous web of secrets, political schemes, and a prophecy set in motion long before she arrived. She doesn't know it yet, but everything in this world has been leading to her. And the truth will change her forever.

 

Too Close to Keep is a slow-burn romantasy filled with ancient magic, forbidden truths, found family, and an intense love story between a mortal woman and the Fae prince who refuses to let her go.

Written in modern English and first-person POV, this romantasy dualogy begins with Too Close to Keep, where fate, love, and magic collide.

 

Trigger warnings: mental health, panic attacks, graphic language, sexual activities, blood, injuries, death, and murder.
