Royal Fae Bodyguard
Chloé Vincent - 2019
Cara is the only Warrior Fae in the graduating class & she has one final assignment. Now, she’s charged with guarding some annoyingly sexy Fae Prince, while she tries to complete an impossible mission. ★ The cocky playboy Royal better not screw it up for her, or he’s going to need protection from Cara! --- It’s been seven years of hard work, but finally Cara, a talented warrior fae, is about to graduate from The Brunswick Academy for Gifted Girls. There’s just one test left: Complete your assigned Mission. Find your Mate.
First off: Cara has no interest in taking a mate. Definitely not now, when she’s just about to start her life. And maybe not ever. But she fully plans on ditching whatever chump the fates have lined up for her, so she can just let that part of the assignment go.
Secondly: The assigned Missions have just gotten a whole lot harder. The Oracle has her hunting down some long-lost totem, with nothing to go on! Oh, and don’t worry, it’s only the fate of the supernatural world that’s at stake …
When she’s charged with protecting a smug, young fae prince who seems more interested in messing with her than one day ruling his kingdom, Cara is more determined than ever to complete her mission and finally be deemed the warrior that she’s worked so hard to become. Unfortunately for her, a dark and raucous force is at work – and it will take everything she has to harness her true powers and confront it. Even if that means learning to trust those around her…including Prince Dayen of the Fae Realm. ---

Interview with the Author
Q: What makes Found special?
A: I believe Found pulls all of the elements I love in an urban fantasy book and adds a little twist. Found has action, a little romance and cool beings with awesome powers who are hidden in plain sight. I personally love historical fiction with origins in magical realism, so I created characters you may have heard of in the history books and brought them to life with new fantastic powers. I also love a good mystery. I have woven little mysteries along with some major twists into the series. I hope that you find yourself enthralled in the story and chasing the clues.
Q: Why should I give Found a try?
A: If you have enjoyed the world building of Kevin Hearne in the Iron Druid Series, the character development in the Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris and the magical twists in The Magicians Series by Lev Grossman with just a touch of the paranormal romance of Stephanie Meyer in the Twilight Series, give Found a shot!
Q: When can I expect the next book?
A: You're in luck, book two- Forsaken is available in December 2018. The rest of the series will follow in 2019, including some short stories and novellas featuring spin off storylines from the characters you love.
