The Holiday of Lady Trael

I need money desperately—to pay off my deceased stepfather’s debts and to protect my younger brother from dangerous guardians. Just an enormous sum! Many men promise help in exchange for my favor, but I don’t want to become a toy in someone else’s hands. If I win the royal holiday contest, I’ll get a three-year contract and settle my debts. I only need to defeat the competitors, outsmart the court schemers, put on a perfect celebration, and get along with the arrogant younger prince. Get along, not fall in love. Fiery Mother, help me not to get it wrong! A love story seasoned with court intrigues and topped with the animal torment of werewolves.
