A RIVALRY OF HEARTS - Tessonja Odette

This is a delightful and spicy fantasy rom-com that plunges readers into the whimsical yet dangerous world of the fae. The story centers on romance author Edwina Danforth, who, in a moment of fae-wine-fueled indiscretion, finds herself entangled in a magical bet with a man she'd rather forget. The stakes are high: a coveted publishing contract for whoever can bed the most lovers during their month-long dueling book tour.

Edwina, despite her prowess in crafting steamy fictional romances, is comically inexperienced in real-life bedroom encounters, making this challenge far more daunting than it initially appears. Failure means her career will plummet into obscurity, so losing simply isn't an option. Her rival, the infuriatingly handsome fae writer William Haywood, presents an even greater hurdle. He's not only incredibly attractive with a flawless reputation as a lover, but he's just as determined to win for his own reasons, promising a fierce competition.

As Edwina and William embark on their unconventional tour, their professional rivalry inevitably sparks a different kind of chemistry. What begins as a heated competition of wills and desires soon blurs the lines, leading them to question if their true objects of desire might, in fact, be each other. This standalone novel, part of the "Fae Flings and Corset Strings" series, promises an "enemies-to-lovers" romance with a quirky heroine and plenty of sizzling moments, all set in a beloved fae world.
