A reclusive Seelie noblewoman is guarded by an aggressive mercenary who skirts the light and dark courts…

Niamh McNamara has always been different from the rest of the Seelie Court. Where others brim with mirth and playfulness, she struggles to pretend. That happy façade becomes harder to wear during the court’s Midsummer festivities.

But when a masked fae tries to kill her, hiding becomes impossible. She prefers solitude at her family’s manor, so being summoned back to court by Queen Titania is bad enough. Being forced to accept a new bodyguard is worse.

She doesn’t trust mercenaries. Especially not one who trades favors across both courts and has a reputation for violence.

Doyle Kearney is too observant, too close, and far too willing to hurt anyone who gets near her. She wants him gone. But the longer he stays, the more she begins to question what she knows: about the court, about the attack, and about herself.

Letting him in could cost her everything, but pushing him away might risk her life.

Surrendered is a fae romantasy featuring a possessive hero, a reclusive noblewoman, forced proximity, court intrigue, secret lineage, and a hurt/comfort arc that ends with an HEA.
