THIS BOOK IS NOT SAFE TO READ AT WORK. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. Twenty year old Temperance Verus has never been kissed. But that's what the basilisk is for. Along with thirteen other contestants, Tem must train with a basilisk to learn the power of seduction and win the prince's hand in marriage. When Tem is matched with Caspen, the Serpent King, she realizes she might actually stand a chance. But with tensions rising between the basilisks and the humans, Tem is suddenly torn in two directions. As her bond with Caspen deepens, so does her connection with the prince. And when she uncovers a terrible secret about the royal family, Tem finds herself caught between two neither of which she can survive without. Guaranteed to make you blush (and then some), Split or Swallow is like if fanfic Draco Malfoy went on the Bachelor and had to compete with a snake. Sounds fun, doesn't it? That's because it is!!

From New York Times bestseller Lindsay Straube comes a prequel in the sexy, biting Split or Swallow series. Daphne never meant to want him— the monster who could destroy her… and the only one who never would. Now they're both caught between Their duties and their love. Daphne Verus never planned to compete for the prince. Now she's expected to trade the safety of her village for the caves beneath the mountain and be trained by Kronos Seneca—a basilisk who could overpower her, bite her, turn her to stone…but who also sees her better than anyone ever has and wants her despite himself. The only rule between them is the one she sets: no sex. She's spent her whole life giving herself to men who didn't deserve it. Kronos is a monster by nature. But he honors her word when no one else ever has, and that is the most dangerous thing about him. Because if Daphne lets herself feel, she might discover she's capable of love after all. And if Kronos claims her, he risks destroying everything—including his own chance at the crown.
