Raphael is always seeking one thing: the next adventure. That is, until he sees her. The woman who steals his heart with one glance and changes his entire plan. But Geneva, a Soulguider priestess-in-training, wants nothing to do with the warrior-scholar visiting her small desert town, even if he is disarmingly charming.

Raphael is nothing if not persistent, and when his friends bet him he can’t get her to fall for him within their one month assignment, he’s even more determined. And Geneva bets her best friend that the one thing she won’t do is submit to his swoon.

Can he win the heart of the Soulguider before time runs out, or will her loyalty to family secrets stand in their way?

Heart of the Soulguider takes place in the same world as the Curse of Ophelia series but centuries prior and can be read entirely independently. It’s a romance-forward fantasy romance novella with insta-attraction that she definitely doesn’t feel, a golden retriever MMC who falls first, family secrets hidden in death magic, and a hint of spice.
