Duchess of a Distant Realm by Bianca D’Arc

A female shifter takes an unexpected trip to the fey realm and meets a handsome man there who holds the key to both her past and her future.
Lord Kalin, younger brother to the Duchess of Eriwande, lives in the fey realm. A warrior of surpassing skill, his job is to prepare the fey armies for any contingency. When he finds a strange young woman walking through his meadow, he is enchanted by the magical girl who is unlike any woman he has ever encountered.
A shifter of mixed heritage, Bess is Collin Hastings’ office manager. She’s begged her boss for years to send her on an investigation, and she’s finally gotten her chance. Bess is checking out the spooky new hotel – Midnight Manor – to find out exactly what’s going on there. What she doesn’t expect is to walk through a hotel room doorway and end up in the fey realm!
And she really doesn’t expect the sexy man waiting for her there. Or the lost heritage she didn’t even know she had.
