Heart Cradle (The Melrathen Saga #1)

A soul fractured by trauma. A fae prince who offers both ruin and redemption.

After surviving a brutal attack in London, Maeve, a detective in her thirties, flees to Lisbon, desperate to disappear. She wants silence, not salvation. But when she’s bound to a mysterious artefact, and the blue-eyed fae prince who seeks it, everything changes.

Dragged into a world of ancient magic, brutal politics, and divine mate bonds, Maeve must fight to reclaim her power before it’s claimed for her. She’s surrounded by chaos, chaotic royals, opinionated dragons, and a mate who’s fallen first and hard. But love alone won’t save her, healing is a choice and survival is a fight.

And Maeve is done running.
