Publisher Description

He's her knight, and she's his queen. Aurora Silvermoon is utterly enchanted by Alden Stonewood, the burly village carpenter who's captured her heart. But when she crosses paths with Rowan Highcliff, Faunwood's new knight, she feels the tell-tale skip of her heart. With hair of red and eyes of green, he'd stop any woman in her tracks.

As fate would have it, when Aurora gets selected as the May Queen of the Beltane festival, a certain red-haired knight gets picked as her Horned God. All it took was one chance meeting with a witch in a mercantile, and Rowan is already falling hard. While chasing her around the Beltane bonfire in a ritualistic celebration of summer, something ignites inside him, and he knows he wants her for his own. Until she reveals that she's already got a lover.

But she claims she wants them both, if only he's willing. At first, Rowan can't believe his luck—or his dilemma. He's never been with a woman who already has a lover, let alone two men vying for her heart. But something about Aurora calls to him, and he's willing to face his doubts if it means having a chance with her—whatever it takes.

What neither of them knows is that Beltane's fertility goddess has a magical few tricks up her sleeve, and she's about to make this topsy-turvy dynamic a lot more complicated.
