I’ve never seen the face of the beast who pursues me. All I know is that he’s relentless in his quest. They say that I have the Curse. A ticking timebomb of uncontrollable bloodlust. If only they knew that everything I’ve done, I did for my people. Still, they plan to cage me. Lock me up and give me a “cure” that may end up killing me. Now, I’m on the run from a relentless hunter. There’s no escape. He’ll follow me to the farthest reaches of our realms – and if he catches me, I’m doomed. Surrender is not in my nature; I’ll fight him fang and claw if I have to. I just wish he didn’t revel so much in the chase. You see, my pursuer is an elite Orc guard, and the faster I run, the harder I resist the more he seems to enjoy it. With each interaction, there is a dangerous dance between predator and prey, and the lines are seriously beginning to blur. Now, I’m questioning who truly holds the upper hand as I find myself playing a treacherous game of danger and desire. Who knew that an orc could be so deliciously sexy? So strong, so powerful, and unstoppable in everything me does…and I mean everything. Then, a knight in shining armor rescues me from the Orc tyrant – and just when I was starting to think that I might not want to be rescued, after all. I soon discover I’ve gone from the frying pan into a raging inferno. And I’m seriously loving the heat. “Fire” is the first book in a steamy duet. It follows Vespyr and Vidarok and ends on a major cliffhanger! Take care that the heroine will end up with more than one love interest – because why choose, right? This action-packed duet can be read as a standalone but would be best enjoyed after reading the “Becoming the Demon Queen” trilogy, the “Becoming the Fae Queen” duet, and the “Becoming the Vampire Queen” duet. Note that this story is written for mature audiences only.
