Dark & Dreadful Brutes - Hardcover

After ten years trapped in a cellar, I was finally rescued... by a ruthless fae king who immediately made me his mate.

He's angry, grumpy, and altogether unpleasant to be around. My attraction to him only partially makes up for that.

He needs the magic of our mate bond to keep him alive, so he drags me back to the fae lands with him. Of course, he conveniently forgets to mention that there's a deadly dragon hunting him-and that his kingdom is in the midst of a civil war.

We have to keep our mate bond a secret to stop the war from escalating, which sounds simple at first, but then the mental and physical bond between us gets stronger.

And stronger.

Until the itch to stay by his side grows into a need, and keeping my hands off of him becomes a battle I can no longer win.

An ancient monster is trying to kill us, and his people will too if they find out the truth about our connection... yet the longer we spend together, the more I start to wonder if I'm really going to be able to let him go.

*This is a steamy enemies to lovers Rapunzel retelling with Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone vibes. Each book in this fantasy romance trilogy follows a different couple with their own happily ever after, and the stories can be read in any order.
