A Dream of Magic (Blackstar Guardians, #1)

Blackstar Guardians... Warriors chosen for their inherent protectiveness and deeply held honor, they are men and women who willingly fight the darkness to safeguard those they love... A woman looking for clues to the past... Aisley Montclair was on a mission to save her father from a baffling illness. Her journey took her to the east, into a land far different than anything she'd ever known, where she found an enemy, questions about who she really was...and the man who had haunted every night of her life. She had never believed the man in her dreams was actually real and yet...there he was. Handsome and charming, he was an enigma determined to claim her as his. And a man more than he seems... Cadrian Ethanael had waited eons for his Seraphin-the woman who held a piece of his soul within her own. He knew her for what she was the moment he started seeing her within his dreams and when she stumbled through his gates and into his arms, knew that he would do anything to keep her there. Leader of a band of warriors who had spent eternities protecting the world from evil, he never hesitated in giving his aid to safeguard her from harm and help find the answers she desperately needed. Answers that will change everything for her.... A light contemporary cozy fantasy romance with humor, heart, and a swirl of magic. No/Low Spice, Closed-Door romance.

I love to read. I can't remember a time when I didn't have a book in my hand no matter where I was and that love of reading inspired me to write my own stories. As a young girl, I scribbled original short stories in cheap spiral-bound notebooks during class (after I finished my work, of course! I was one of those quiet, 'good' students) and then would read them to my friends during recess. I was writing romances even then. I continued writing during college and into adulthood (working as an assistant manager of our family's gift store, as an administrative assistant and as a kinder/1st grade teacher), finding my voice with stories and characters that seemed to fill my head fully-formed. I took the plunge and decided to join the indie publishing movement (I love the creative freedom), hoping to find readers who love romance touched with magic as much as I do. I write what I love to read: light fantasy romances with humor, heart, and a swirl of magic! My characters like to banter, have family and friends that offer humor and support, have magical Gifts and fall in love with their Seraphins (my take on the soulmate trope). The stories take place in settings from cozy magical bakery's to exotic mythical island kingdoms to elegant manor houses. Each book is light, emotional, and cozy with a guaranteed Happily-Ever-After at the end. My hope is you close each book with a sigh and smile, feeling uplifted and happy as you go about your day.
