A Kiss and a Dare

A castle of dreams. A love that defies reason. And magic that will change the course of Fate...

For years, Garen McTaggert has longed to own a crumbling old castle. Now his wish is granted - if he can complete renovations in time and marry the demure Leeza Cantrell, heir to the estate.

Just as his future begins to look bright, Garen stumbles into an enchanted garden and falls into a deep slumber. When he awakens, he is no longer the man he was. An enchantress has cast a spell, entwining his fate with creatures of a frog, a newt, a dragonfly, and the witch who holds his heart captive.

Garen is torn between the life he always wanted and the love he never knew was possible. To claim Leeza and his castle, he must break the spell - but to break the spell means losing the bewitching woman who has captured his soul.

In a place where magic whispers in every stone, Garen must follow his heart through a maze of mysteries that will force him to question whether love's power can transcend reason. But with time running out, the cost of truth may be losing the only home - and the only woman - that were ever meant to be his.

A fantasy of longing and laughter, sorrow and delight, this re-imagined tale reminds us that in love and magic, nothing is ever quite as it seems...and happily-ever-after may just be the beginning of the story.
