Heart's Escape (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798864479193)

Phaedron Undervale has more battle scars than he can count, a legendary reputation he'd rather not discuss, absolutely no interest in falling in love ever again, and a brother imprisoned by an ancient evil everyone thought was just a myth.

His plan to fix the last problem is simple: step through a portal into the enemy kingdom, find a magician who isn't working for the people trying to destroy his world, and convince her to help him. What could go wrong?

Almost everything, as it turns out. The portal explodes. The magician is already halfway out the door with a bag full of stolen gold. And the plan his brother came up with, the one that was supposed to take a few days, is rapidly beginning to look like the most dangerous thing Phaedron has ever tried to do.

Alindra has a plan: sneak out of the palace tonight, slip through the anomaly in the barrier before her fellow magicians seal it forever, and disappear into the Lands Below where King Grathgore can never find her or the secret she's been hiding for months.

What Alindra did not plan for is a soaking-wet warrior covered in illusions stepping out of an unstable portal at the foot of her bed and asking for her help. Still, she takes his hand. Because her plan was already terrible, because the Lands Below are no place to be alone, and because she is carrying a secret that King Grathgore would destroy her to keep.

And she is running out of time.

The final book in the Fallen Hearts series, complete with its own HEA, and even better with books 1 and 2 in hand. A snarky, steamy romantasy for readers who love forced proximity, enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, found family, dual POV, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
