The Lightkeeper's Gift

Every winter, the magical Winter Market appears at the edge of Thornwick Forest—an otherworldly place where the Fae trade in secrets, memories, and moonlight. This year, Sera Ashwood steps into its shimmering paths with one desperate wish: save her brother from a curse that steals his life one night at a time.

Her last hope lies with Cael, a Light Keeper—one of the rare Fae whose magic can forge true light powerful enough to break even the Night Queen’s cruelest enchantments. His price? Eight nights of her company. Eight candles lit together. Eight moments of connection in the darkest season.

But as Sera returns night after night, what begins as a bargain becomes something deeper—something warm, bright, and terrifyingly real. Cael is brilliant, lonely, and far more human than a centuries-old Fae should be. And their eight nights together might not only break a curse… they may mend two wounded hearts.

Enchanting, romantic, and full of holiday wonder, The Lightkeeper’s Gift is a standalone fantasy romance that glows with magic, sacrifice, and the kind of love that returns like dawn after the darkest night.
