The Shapeshifter Drives a Bargain — Claire Trella Hill

A herbalist loses her way in the swamp, only to find herself entrapped by a faefolk lord with a plan. Tansy finds fulfillment in scouring the swamp near her home for medicinal plants and turning them into remedies. It also gets her out of her family's bursting-at-the-seams cottage. But when she unexpectedly loses her way, she encounters one of the swamp's fabled denizens—a powerful faefolk lord. And he won't let her go. Aistin must have an heir to inherit and protect his demesne, but in his isolated swamp, he doesn't have many choices. Now he has a plan for that…and it centers on Tansy. In order to find her way home again, Tansy may have to bargain. Sprinkled with elements of Beauty and the Beast and Rumplestiltskin, The Shapeshifter Drives a Bargain is the third cozy fantasy romance novella in the Tales from Karneesia series.
