Can a newborn spirit win the heart of Jack Frost before another immortal steals him away? Over 300 years ago, Wind put a claim on the Spirit of Winter. When her plans are threatened by a Nightwalker, Wind takes drastic measures. A love story of nature-spirit proportions. *** Mild sexual content. The story takes place 16 years after events in Rise of the Guardians movie. Jack is 19 due to mature themes inside. I tried to write it in the spirit of YA but I go further than YA because I don't like a tease. *** I do not own characters from Rise of the Guardians or any of the artwork in chapter banners.

Spells begin failing, people start dying, and the two are magically bound together against their will. As the magical community struggles to survive without magic, Blaze and Kayden try to find a way to break the spell that has physically bound them together. But as they navigate through magical politics, they must also control their growing attraction to one another, which may just be another unfortunate side effect of their spell gone wrong. * * * Awards and Featuring: Ranked #13 in Fantasy (Dec 2016) Wattpad Featured (Dec 2016) Editor's Choice (May 2020) Featured on @ContemporaryLit (Jan 2020) Featured on @Fantasy (Feb 2021) Featured on @WattpadUrbanFantasy (May 2021) Cover image by @TheRainbowPig

As the first female Captain in the history of Myrethia's Royal Guard, 18 year old Leo Tsai is quick-witted, feisty, and always on her toes. She thinks training programs and defense strategies are all that's in store for her this summer. Sure, she figures babysitting her childhood friend and Myrethia's resident "playboy who just wants to take care of you" Prince Henry Arrington will be part of the job description, but at least she has mischievous and equally flighty Jax Rivera, her Co-Captain and fellow royal ward, to help her out. What she isn't expecting, however, is having to deal with a missing royal heirloom and a long line of women who seem to think she's a threat to their shot at becoming the next Princess of Myrethia. Oh, and then there's the matters of her own heart. Here's hoping she doesn't go completely mad this summer. (Note: Myrethia is a purely fictional modern day kingdom and country that was created solely for this story, which is a product of my quarantine boredom)
