Love is more than a fantasy when an English countrywoman meets a famous author who wants to be her real-life happily-ever-after.

For as long as Eloise Blake has lived in the quaint English village of Hookfield, she's been fascinated by Prospect House—the shadowy Gothic home across from her own. So, she's a bit taken aback when someone buys the place and actually moves in.

The new owner turns out to be Ross Farrell, a bestselling author of gritty crime novels. Though Ross is quite attractive, Eloise has already given up on romance plots. She's convinced love is only for fairy tales—even when Ross keeps appearing just when she needs help.

As Eloise gets closer to the man known for creating monsters, she discovers he has the heart of a hero. But is he a real Prince Charming—or is he just another wolf in sheep's clothing?
