What this book is about
Isolde Ophelia Goodnight — Izzy — has grown up as the daughter of a beloved author of fairy tales and spent her whole life being coddled by fans of her father's work. When he dies, she discovers she's been left a crumbling castle in the Scottish highlands. Arriving to claim it, she finds it occupied by a reclusive, scarred, temperamental duke named Ransom who didn't know the castle had been willed away. Tessa Dare's first Castles Ever After novel is a fairy-tale romance in a very literal sense — a heroine who has lived inside stories finding that reality, especially when it comes with a complicated duke, is more interesting than the tales.
