From award-winning Lisa Kumar comes a contemporary fantasy romance novella of a banished elvin lady who gets a second chance at life—and love—in the arms of a sexy human doctor. Freshly banished to Earth from the elvin land of Eria, all Alalise wants is a new start—no males needed. When a sexy single father crashes into her life, a bond she never thought possible forms between them. Will this human doctor be able to capture the heart of a reformed temptress, or will the baggage of their pasts end their relationship before it has truly begun? Content warnings: this novella mentions past sexual abuse and a current ring of human trafficking and drug use, but nothing is overly graphic. This story contains adult content. This story was previously published in the anthology Wicked As She Comes. The Mists of Eria series is suitable for lovers of elf/fantasy romance and fans of Sarah J. Maas, Elise Kova, and Miranda Honfleur.
