Author: Keri Lake

Release Date: April 22, 2020
When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born.
Funny how things changed over time. How the fairy tale twisted into something far more crooked, darker than I ever imagined.
In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.
Lucian Blackthorne is as cursed as I am, and equally shunned by the locals, the fishers of men, who believe him to be the devil in the flesh.
Perhaps he is, with the way his amber eyes draw me in, ignite me like an infernal blaze. And the sins he whispers in my ear are as wickedly intoxicating as the man himself. Yet, his touch is heaven and his will is my weakness.
He calls us forbidden, an unsalvageable tragedy, with no happy end. Maybe we are. But in this story, he’s the one who needs saving.
You chose this dress? Beneath the shimmer of appreciation in his eyes lies a shadow of annoyance that mirrors the tone of his voice.
You don’t like it? Everyone is looking at you. Over my shoulder, I glimpse a few gazes in my direction, one of whom comes from the man I followed inside. This bothers you.
Yes. He steps around the cage until he’s standing beside me, and a shiver skitters down my back when his lips feather my ear. Heat blooms inside of me, the dress suddenly too hot and tight against my skin.
It’s as if they want to consume you alive. Or perhaps it’s the other way around, like the moths to the candle. I turn just enough that our lips nearly touch. You were looking at me, too.
Scintillating amber eyes dip to my dress and back. If I suspected any one of these bastards were thinking the same thing I was when I first saw you, I’d kill them all.
I’m too young for you, remember? You are. The gentle brush of his knuckles along the edge of my neck has my heart hammering inside my chest. And too tempting. What torture that must be.
