He can have my body but never my heart. Sold into a life of subjection, my fate has never been mine to control. I'm a princess in name only, a pawn to be sacrificed when it serves the crown. As word of a coming war spreads throughout the land, the king contracts with a man whose brutal reputation surpasses those coming for the throne. The brute agrees to defend the kingdom, but at a steep price—me. While our union will ensure the safety of my people, I’m not certain of my own. It is rumored that peace and mercy are not familiar words to the man I'm to marry-a man with an angry golden gaze that follows my every move. Against all odds, I find myself drawn to him even as he seems determined to forget I exist. However, the more secrets I unearth, the more my terror grows…not of him…but of what I am willing to become in order to be exactly what he needs: a queen. The first in a pulse-pounding fantasy romance that is perfect for anyone who loves epic adventure, a massive world, and an incredible love story that defies all odds.

I gave the savage my body…and my heart. With Merrick at my side, I have the power to control my own destiny. He is my rock. My alpha. Together we are the force that will bring a kingdom to its knees. There's only one problem, though. Merrick's control is slipping. The curse that binds him grows more volatile every day. If we don't find a way to break it, my warrior will become the beast—forever. His love is hard. His love is savage. His love is mine. And I will not lose him.

I signed my wife’s death warrant. An alpha without my beta, I’m a soldier with no moral compass. A savage beast with no chain. The king stole my wife. My mate. My beloved. I’ve killed for far less. Even as the curse has been broken, I’ve never felt such bloodlust. Such a driving need to paint the realm crimson. And before the first snow dusts the Shadow Lands, I will have his head on a f\*cking spike. Get your copy of the third book in this action-packed, steamy, shifter romance today!
