Thanks to lucrative gem mines and easy trade routes, the beautiful people of Gildernosh have long believed their realm was untouchable. Ruled by the Lord Protector until his daughter Mila ascends the throne, they aren't as protected as they once believed. Enemies are at the borders and their easy way of life is being threatened.
Mila knows what must be done to ensure the safety of her people. Unfortunately her father doesn't agree. Against his wishes, Mila makes a dangerous decision and sets out with her closest companions- an overly flirtatious gnome and a surly sprite- to the horrifying realm of Thornscarp. In the physically stunning land filled with denizens thought descended from demons, Mila is shocked to see all manner of people with horns and claws, wings and scales. There she does the unthinkable. She offers herself in marriage to the Mighty Prince Edonier, a savage warrior who just might be as much monster as he is man.
Mila's proposal is met with more than one challenge. Although she's yet to set eyes on the brutal man, she must stay in the terrifying land for a month while the King and Queen of Thornscarp make a decision. Between the queen's tests, unexpected assassination attempts, the ire of her father, and her chemistry with the beast of a guard assigned to watch over her, soon Mila isn't sure if she'd rather sacrifice her heart or her queendom.
With elements of The Princess and the Pea deliciously mashed together with Beauty and the Beast, The Thornscarp Proposal is a whimsical fantasy romance, sure to have readers swooning and giggling with each turn of the page
