Fake a courtship. Steal the jewel. Don't fall in love.
Abandoned by her father, Emmeline Le Brun became a thief to survive. She'd steal anything to support her ailing mother—even if it means trusting the dangerously handsome knight who caught her red-handed.
Sir Valen Corvanos of the Moonlit Court offers her the deal of a lifetime: help him steal a legendary jewel from a ruthless moon princess, and he'll pay her enough to lift her mother out of poverty forever. The catch? The only way to get close to their target is at an exclusive royal ball—on Valen's arm, playing the part of his devoted lover.
What starts as a simple masquerade becomes dangerously real when Emmeline discovers there's more to the coldly perfect knight than his flawless facade. Beneath his icy exterior lies a man haunted by secrets, scarred by loss, and far more vulnerable than he'll ever admit.
But as their fake romance deepens into something neither expected, the heist takes a deadly turn. Caught in a web of conspiracy with the palace guards closing in, Emmeline must decide if she can trust a man trained in deception—or if love is for fools like she's always believed.
Only in Moonlight is a steamy standalone fantasy romance perfect for fans of courtly intrigue, forced proximity, and only one bed. Your next book obsession awaits.
