What would you sacrifice to survive in a world ruled by ancient magic and merciless beauty?

Darkly seductive, emotionally immersive, and pulsing with slow-burn tension, this standalone delivers everything fantasy romance lovers crave: a fiercely independent heroine, a dangerous and devastatingly gorgeous Fae male, and a world where marriage is a contract—and desire is a weapon.

Why To Marry a Fae Hits the Fantasy Romance Sweet Spot

With fantasy romance surging in popularity, readers want more than just dragons and daggers. They want emotional stakes, forced proximity with high heat, and relationships that walk the razor’s edge between ruin and redemption. Miranda Bridges delivers on every front.

To Marry a Fae stands out in a crowded genre because it dares to ask: What if the monster you married was also your best chance at freedom? In a time when readers are devouring darker, morally complex love stories, this book feels like a fresh, fierce answer to that call.

A Marriage of Obligation—and a Love That Burns Through It

The story opens with a desperate bargain. Our heroine, caught in a world where humans live under the thumb of the powerful and unyielding Fae, finds herself facing a decision she never imagined: marry a Fae male she doesn’t trust or risk losing everything she has left.

He’s not just any Fae—he’s brutal, commanding, and bound by rules as old as time. But beneath his cold exterior lies a secret… and a vulnerability he keeps fiercely guarded. What starts as a strategic alliance quickly morphs into something far more dangerous: attraction, obsession, and the kind of emotional entanglement that could burn them both alive.

Bridges masterfully balances world-building with romance, weaving in magic, politics, and peril with every beat of the story. But it’s the emotional arcs that steal the show. The tension between the couple is palpable, brimming with mistrust, desire, and the push-pull that defines all excellent enemies-to-lovers dynamics.

Tropes That Satisfy Every Fantasy Romance Craving

If you live for high-stakes romance with teeth, To Marry a Fae brings the tropes you love—and gives them depth, heat, and heart:
