Meira has given everything to protect her village-her magic, her strength, her future.

But it's still not enough.

Since the founding of Glenmere, Meira's family has maintained the magical wards that keep the valley safe. The work was never meant to be done alone-each pair of wardcrafters was bonded by both love and magic, their power intertwined.

But after losing her parents, the responsibility became hers alone. Now her magic is wearing thin. Her body is breaking down. And the charm shop she built from nothing-the one piece of her life that's truly hers-is slipping through her fingers.

When she collapses at her best friend's wedding, the village council finally intervenes: find a magical partner to share the burden, or step aside.

Panicked, Meira claims she's already being courted-by Calder, the forest fae who appeared the same week everything fell apart and who's been quietly holding her life together ever since.

Calder doesn't hesitate-just steps forward and agrees, like protecting her is the most natural thing in the world. And Meira, who's been holding herself together for far too long, feels the first thread start to pull loose. Because Calder can't lie. And Meira doesn't know if she's falling into a trap, a partnership... or something far more dangerous to her heart.

The Hidden Magic of Ordinary Things is full of small town fantasy charm, ancient magic, slow-burn tension, and steamy scenes that will make you believe in the power of both truth and lies.
