Heart of the Griffin

To save his family’s honor, he became someone else. To save his kingdom, the Prince must find him.

Crown Prince Philip Atherton lives in a gilded cage. With the kingdom demanding an heir, his duty is clear: host the Midwinter Ball, choose a noble bride, and secure the succession. But Philip’s heart has never beaten for a woman. When a moonlit encounter on a balcony brings him face-to-face with a witty, mysterious scholar, Philip awakens to a dangerous desire—one that feels more real than his royal duty.

Oliver Thornfield is a walking ghost. The last son of a disgraced house, he survives by tutoring the heir of the family that destroyed his own. To protect his charge, Oliver agrees to a desperate charade: attend the Royal Ball in disguise. His goal is to remain invisible. He didn't account for the piercing blue eyes of the Prince, or a forbidden waltz that sparks a passion threatening to burn both their worlds to the ground.

When the clock strikes and Oliver flees, he leaves behind only a ring—and a Prince desperate to find the man who captured his heart.

But as Philip searches, a web of courtly treachery begins to unravel. Now, Philip is forced to choose: The crown he was born to wear, or the man he was born to love?

Heart of the Griffin is a steamy, high-stakes MM fantasy romance. Inspired by the magic of Cinderella, it features a dutiful prince, a scholar in disguise, courtly intrigue, and a happily ever after.
