Save a horse, ride a prince – or should I say save a prince, ride a horse?
Bianca’s duty comes before her heart. With the threat of war looming, she agrees to marry Aric, the neighbouring kingdom’s heir. But on their magical wedding night, an assassination attempt goes awry – leaving Aric magically transformed into a horse. Bianca’s solution? Mounting her new husband and riding away to safety.
They soon discover the assassination attempt is part of a larger plot against the throne. Worse, Bianca has been framed for Aric’s murder, and she’s now saddled with a husband who is a horse by day and a frustratingly attractive man by night.
As an unexpected romance begins galloping away with their hearts, Bianca and Aric must rely on each other to unravel the curse and save the throne.
A charming slow-burn romantasy featuring a duty-bound noblewoman with a chronic illness, a prince who would rather be in a library than on a throne, and a magical ride through a world of cosy enchantment.

Behooved is bewitchingly charming, a romantic fairytale adventure that will sweep you off your feet (or hooves)!
Arranged marriages, mischievous magic, and families lost and found. This quirky, charming fantasy romp is so much fun. A cozy fantasy romance to cuddle up with. A delightful debut
Behooved is a refreshing, enchanting journey of self-discovery - but also, for the horse girls in all of us, a witty romp of a fairy tale romance that will have readers chomping at the bit
It's impossible to rein in my enthusiasm for Behooved. This romantic fairy-tale adventure-full of meddling magic, witty banter, and my new favorite stubborn, stabby heroine-captured my heart from the start
Sprawlingly adventurous and packed with heartwarming romance and magic, Behooved is a captivating tale of duty, love, and breaking free - a book for everyone who's ever been told they're not enough. I devoured it with unbridled delight!
Behooved is a whimsical subverted fairytale that throws reluctant allies-to-lovers together in an action-packed journey across a magical landscape. I absolutely loved watching Bianca and Aric battling their perceived shortcomings, and finding strength in each other-and themselves. Full of charm, romance, and swashbuckling adventure, this debut is so much fun!
Cinematic and engaging, sparkling and joyous. You'll fall in love just like I did. This was a ridiculous amount of fun
Wildly fun and completely charming, this story hits all the high notes of humor, sincerity, and a beautiful romance
