Royal Ransom (Princess Procedural, #4) (Haven Hollow, #42)

Reign of Winter

When I became Chief of Police in Haven Hollow, I thought my biggest challenge would be keeping the supernatural residents in line while raising my two adopted sons.

I was wrong.

My ex-fiancé, Fox Aspen, was kidnapped by the would-be queen of Winter, and his life is hanging on the line.

Not only that, my brother’s soul, which was trapped in his class ring, has been stolen by Wren, Janara’s right-hand-woman.

And if that weren’t enough to make me want to tear my hair out, my husband—yes, I have one of those, too—has disappeared after being possessed by a vampire deity.

Now my worst enemy, the usurper Queen Janara, has sent me a severed finger along with a chilling ultimatum: surrender, or everyone I love dies.

Becoming the queen I was born to be means sacrificing the life I’ve worked so hard to build. But staying human means abandoning those who need me most…

With refugees from Misty Hollow flooding my town, a murderous fairy queen hunting me down, and family I never knew I had thrown into the mix, I’m facing impossible choices at every turn.

I never wanted a crown, that’s true.

But I’ll be damned if I let Janara keep it.
