About this ebook
Save a horse, ride a prince - or should I say save a prince, ride a horse?
Let love take the reins.
Bianca's duty comes before her heart. With the threat of war looming, she agrees to marry Aric, the neighbouring kingdom's heir. But on their magical wedding night, an assassination attempt goes awry - leaving Aric magically transformed into a horse. Bianca's solution? Mounting her new husband and riding away to safety.
They soon discover the assassination attempt is part of a larger plot against the throne. Worse, Bianca has been framed for Aric's murder, and she's now saddled with a husband who is a horse by day and a frustratingly attractive man by night.
As an unexpected romance begins galloping away with their hearts, Bianca and Aric must rely on each other to unravel the curse and save the throne.
A charming slow-burn romantasy featuring a duty-bound noblewoman with a chronic illness, a prince who would rather be in a library than on a throne, and a magical ride through a world of cosy enchantment.
