About
The moonlight gave her luck...love might take it away. Since childhood, eighteen-year-old Nia has relied on the fortune stone-a gift from a boy who once saved her from drowning. Its magic, tied to the phases of the moon, brings her extraordinary luck... at the cost of a life spent in hiding from those who would exploit her. But on the night of the dark moon, Nia is attacked by a nightmare creature and left for dead-only to awaken in an enchanted castle ruled by the enigmatic Neilos. He offers her a bargain: he'll heal her damaged lungs, but only if she remains within the castle's walls until the next dark moon. There, Nia discovers the boy from her past, Enitan, now serves as Neilos's guard. In stolen moments with Enitan, Nia uncovers a devastating truth: whenever he is near, her fortune stone falls silent. She can have her luck or Enitan... never both. As Nia uncovers the castle's twisted secrets, she realizes the cost of staying may be more than she's willing to pay. Nia must choose: keep the magic that has protected her, or risk everything for love.

Ashley Bustamante has created stories from the moment she could scribble and staple sheets of paper together. She simply cannot recall a time when writing was not a force in her life. When not running through lines of dialogue in her mind, she enjoys taking photographs and spending time with her husband, three children, and any furry, feathered, or scaly creature she can find.
