She touched me, and the beast inside me opened its eyes and chose her ROSE: My life was simple. A cottage in the woods. Warm hearth. Quiet days spent with my mother and sister.Then the bear came.Huge, wounded, and wild. I should've been terrified, but I wasn't. Because when he looked at me, I saw a man behind the beast. A soul trapped in fur and fury.One day, when he changed before my eyes, into a warrior with blood on his hands and fire in his gaze, I knew the truth.This wasn't fate.It was a curse.And somehow, I'm the key to breaking it.He says I belong to him.But what terrifies me more is how much I want him to be right.ALARIC: Grimbald cursed me out of spite, forcing me to wear the skin of a beast for crimes I did not commit.For years, I lived alone. Forgotten. Savage. Waiting for madness to take me.Then she appeared.A girl with fire in her hair and kindness in her voice.Her touch calms the storm inside me. Her scent drives me to my knees.I told myself I wouldn't love again.But Rose isn't just anyone.She was made for me, and now I will prove to her that she is MINE.Even if I have to tear the gnome's magic apart with my bare hands. Coming this October: curvy heroines, alpha monsters, and fairy-tale chaos collide in a whirlwind of dirty declarations, magical matings, and heart-thumping happily ever afters. For readers who like their fairy tales filthy, heartfelt, and unforgettably fun.
