House of Storms and Secrets
Storm is stuck in a life not of her choosing. She was royal once, until her father died, leaving her in the care of wicked Queen Rosalind, and the Queen is in league with the fallen angels, who have descended like a plague onto their lands, their leader, Gabriel, as cunning as he is beautiful, the worst of them all. But the creatures of Fairy Land are determined to fight back; to put an end to the death and destruction wrought by the angels, and they want Storm to help. But this land has not been kind to Storm, and she considers that maybe the angels have more to offer ... As she uncovers why the angels have come to Fairy Land, and what they are looking for, Storm realizes everything is not quite as it seems. She finds a way to be free of her unhappy existence, but learns the hard way that sometimes you should be careful what you wish for. House of Storms and Secrets is a romantic portal fantasy and can be read as a standalone novel. It starts in the world of The Prince and the Fairy Godmother (HR Moore's short story in the Once Upon A Forbidden Desire anthology), then moves to a darker place that will be familiar to those who know the Shadow and Ash world ...
