Cheshire in Heartsland by Ariella Zoelle

Cheshire 1800

Wonderland Ever After, Book 2

Cheshire is determined to convince King Rei to give them a second chance at happily ever after. But what if the only way to do that is for the cat shifter to team up with his enemy?

I could sulk about King Rei choosing his duty to his kingdom over our relationship, but it’s way more fun to get payback by stealing his crowns. Of course, my favorite form of revenge is tempting my fated mate with what he could have if only he wasn’t so stubborn.

We’ve been playing our will-they-won’t-they game since he took the throne, but the stakes change when a rival prince arrives in Wonderland to try wooing away my beloved. As a master of mayhem and mischief, I’m prepared to chase off the unwanted interloper by any means necessary.

But I quickly discover that the little princeling isn’t what he seems. And what’s more ingenious than working with my enemy to catch Rei by surprise? After all, I said I’d do absolutely anything to win him back.

Will my efforts finally motivate Rei to let me claim him as my mate?

Cheshire in Heartsland is the second book in the Wonderland Ever After series. This sweet-with-heat MM paranormal fantasy romance features affectionate shifters, fated mates, second chances, and a royal gay romance. Escape into this Wonderland full of whimsy, where everyone gets a HEA without cliffhangers. Each book can be read as a standalone but is best enjoyed in order.

Chapter 4: King Rei of Hearts

 

“Anyone who has heard the legends should admire Cheshire and his incredible power. It’s been my dream to meet him,” Prince Renner said in an awed voice.

I glanced around the room, expecting the prince’s words to summon the troublesome cat who loved attention. But he was suspiciously absent, which didn’t sit well with me at all. “Should you make his acquaintance, he will surely puff up with pride at hearing that.”

Prince Renner clasped his hands together as he looked up at me hopefully. “Would it be too forward to ask if you could arrange a meeting with him? After all, you’re great friends with him.”

My need to be an excellent host warred with my desire to keep the two men as far apart as possible. No good could come of Cheshire meeting the young royal. When the cat shifter resented the prince’s arrival, there was no telling what mischief he would cause. “Is that what the rumors say?”

A faint blush graced his cheeks. “Some of them. Others say you’re far closer than mere friends.”

His words unsettled me. “That doesn’t make their idle chatter true.” The expectant look in his eyes made me inwardly sigh. “Unfortunately, Cheshire is a cat who does as he pleases. He does not respond well to orders from anyone, not even from his king.”

“That’s not true,” Cheshire’s voice said. He slowly appeared in his cat form, starting from the tip of his tail to the ends of his whiskers. “I’m always pleased to do what you ask when it’s something I want to do.”

I clamped down on my urge to reprimand him for appearing in the palace without permission. No matter how many times I reminded him that he was banned, he showed a flagrant disregard for that fact. I also ignored the very un-kinglike panic I felt over his sudden appearance.

Prince Renner looked at Cheshire with open admiration. “It really is you!”

Cheshire shifted into his human form, although he kept his cat ears and tail. He was extra handsome in his violet jacquard suit designed by Hatter. It took an effort not to react when he reached out to take the prince’s hand and bring it up to his lips to kiss while looking deep into his eyes. “What a treat it is to meet a fan.” He glanced at me over his shoulder. “Someone could stand to learn a thing or two about giving a warm welcome.”

I bristled at the dig but knew it was smarter to keep my silence. Losing my cool would make me look terrible in front of my guest. I wasn’t interested in taking him as my consort, but I owed it to myself to maintain my dignity as a ruler.

Prince Renner clasped Cheshire’s hand in his as he looked at him with a loving adoration that made me uncomfortable. “I can’t believe my good fortune! I’ve longed to meet you since I was a child, and you’re right here in front of me, even more magnificent than the rumors said.”

Jealousy burned deep within me. It filled me with an urge to lay claim to Cheshire in a way that would leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that he was mine.

Alistair in Wonderland

Alistair 1800

Wonderland Ever After, Book 1

Alistair falls down the rabbit hole and becomes the new Alice. Can he save Wonderland’s magic by falling in love with his fated mate?

My life sucks until Bianco shows up. He’s a gorgeous albino who promises me a fun adventure while looking like a handsome prince from a fairy tale. I happily follow him down the rabbit hole in the hopes of getting up to some sexy shenanigans.

Imagine my shock when I discover he’s the famous White Rabbit from the books and one of the last shifters left in Wonderland! Even more surprising is finding out I’m a descendant of the original Alice, which means I’m the only person who can bring the missing magic back to their world.

That’s all well and good, but our incredible chemistry is highly distracting. It’s impossible to resist our intense attraction when I’m his fated mate, so why bother trying? But maybe there’s a way to have it all.

What if forming a mating bond with Bianco is the way to make all my dreams come true and save Wonderland at the same time?

Alistair in Wonderland is the first book in the Wonderland Ever After series. This sweet-with-heat MM paranormal fantasy romance features affectionate shifters, fated mates, and a magical gay romance. These books have hilarious characters to adore, a lot of sexy fun times, and no angst love stories that make you laugh and swoon.
