Series: The Kingdom of Crows #2
Release Date: Jan 29, 2023
I MEANT TO CAPTURE THE PRINCE’S HEART . . . AND ENDED UP WITH A KING’S.
My desire to sit upon the Lucin throne led me to revive an ancient, winged monarch; one I deemed a friend until that friend duped and imprisoned me.
Lorcan claims he’s holding me captive for my own safety, but then he also claims I belong to him. Slumbering for five centuries has evidently given the Crow King severe delusions.
We may share an unfortunate mind-link, but we are still masters of our own destiny, and I intend to steer mine away from the Sky Kingdom and its prophecies . . . away from him.
I quickly find out there is no escaping the possessive male. In all honesty, I’m no longer certain I want to.
Get swept away in the second installment of a slow-burn shifter fantasy series full of heartbreaking deceit, wicked supernaturals, and alpha males.
*contains mature content. Recommended for 18
****************************************
“Why so adamant to get away?”
A growl vibrates up my throat, and I slam my gaze back on his. “Because I’m all bathed out.”
“You’re all bathed out, or you’re frightened to soak with me?”
“Frightened?” I roll my eyes to emphasize how not frightened I am. “Are you planning on shredding my skin with your iron talons?”
“This may come as a surprise”—he tugs on the ties of his leather breaches—“but I’m no fan of bloodbaths.”
I attempt to map out an exit that doesn’t involve circling him, but the only other way past Lorcan is scuttling up one of the boulders and doing so slick and naked is truly not ideal. I decide to wait for him to step into the pool, then I’ll swim past him and climb out.
The lazy smile that draws up one corner of his mouth makes my spine prickle. I cross my arms and scowl as he pulls off his boots excruciatingly slowly.
“Should’ve bathed in bird form. Would’ve been quicker.”
“I believe that pleasurable things should never be rushed.”
“You find undressing pleasurable?”
He just keeps smiling as he hooks the waistband of his pants.
