BITTEN BY DESIRE: THE PANTY PARADOXA dark romantacy about hunger, heat, and choices with teeth.Aria Voss has a problem: whenever desire hits too hard... her monster wakes up.Literally.A family curse ties her transformation to intimacy, turning her into a creature built for hunting-not loving. She's spent years avoiding danger, passion, and every bad decision that could end with a missing head. But the wolf inside her is growing restless... and so is the world around her.Enter Leron Kael-steady, grounded, maddeningly patient. The one man who makes her feel safe enough to breathe again.And then there's Cassian Vale-dangerous, magnetic, and tied to the ancient origin of her curse. His presence pulls at something primal inside her, a hunger she doesn't want to understand. A hunger that might kill her if she lets it.When her control shatters and her wolf nearly destroys someone she cares about, Aria is thrown into a brutal truth: The curse isn't just waking.It's choosing.To survive, she must learn to tame the instincts that terrify her-or surrender to them. But the men drawn into her orbit each pull her in a different direction, and desire is no longer safe. It's a weapon. One that can remake her... or ruin her.Bloodlines are cracking.Old magic is shifting.And Aria must decide who she is when her hunger finally answers back.
