Melissa de la Cruz is done with Mr. Darcy.

Author Melissa de la Cruz joined us at our headquarters to discuss her new romantasy, Rings of Fate . With nearly 90 books under her belt, she imparted wisdom on crafting flawed heroes, pitching a "sexy Lord of the Rings" to your publisher, and why brooding isn't always better. Cynical barmaid Aren Bellamore never saw herself as anyone's princess, least of all a cursed prince's prince's fiancée. But after a fake engagement draws her into a dangerous quest to save their kingdoms, she must face magic, monsters, and some very inconvenient feelings. Get Rings of F a te at bookofthemonth.com.
