Her strength and her vulnerability have tangled themselves together like barbed wire and formed a cage around my heart. And I don’t want it back. It’s hers to do with what she likes. - the monstrous Count Laval Arianne, a witch born without magic, is searching for something precious to her and is willing to take great risks to find it – including breaking into the beastly Count Laval’s castle. Mistaking her for an assassin, Count Laval has every intention of confining her there, then killing her. But as he begins to learn more about Arianne and the sorcerers who are after her, he begins to develop a need for her…and it’s a need most monstrous. Read A Monstrous Need, part of Bonkers Season 4: The Bluebeard Chronicles, now on Backerkit
Author
Elizabeth Stephens writes romance of the SciFi, paranormal and suspenseful varieties. Her favorite trope is enemies-to-lovers and she loves to world-build so much so that she sometimes gets lost in places that don't exist. One year into her author journey, she's been shocked to see her books listed among Amazon's bestsellers in their categories. Still, her favorite pieces of fanmail are from BIPOC women expressing surprise and gratitude that they've found an author who looks like them and (does her very best!) to write books that make them feel included. When she isn't tip-tap-typing away, you might find her getting her hands dirty on a pottery wheel, traveling as much as she can, or learning a new language. A Seattle native, after over 15 years spent in Johannesburg, Cairo, Beirut, Geneva, Addis Ababa, and Berlin, she's made her way back home with her loving husband and doggo, King Louis.
