About
the Book:
Deflowering the princess may just
save her life.
Princess Justine found an
unlikely ally when she stormed into the stables and found an angry,
devastatingly handsome young man tending to her mare. Victor belonged to her
soon-to-be Queen mother-in-law, and he had the whip marks on his muscled back
to prove it.
The Queen, an enchantress
well-accomplished in the art of black magic, turns Victor into a creature like
no other. He’s a ten foot tall beastly
wall of muscle, animalistic sinew and savagery ready to unleash every primal
urge coiled within him. At the Queen’s command, he kidnaps Justine on her
wedding day to the prince — but refuses to kill her. Instead, he keeps her safe
by turning her from a threat to the Queen’s power, into a ruined woman who will
never ascend the throne.
Now the Beast holds his princess
captive in the woods, his focus on only one mission: deflower her and get her
with child before the queen comes back to kill Justine herself.
He wasn’t expecting Justine to
see past his terrifying form and straight into his heart. Setting her free is
no more of an option than keeping her. But as their tentative alliance forms,
both Victor and Justine can’t help but wonder— what if being together is their
chance for true love?

Excerpt:
"Beast," she said,
trying to steady the tremble in her voice. "I have no quarrel with you,
sir. Please don't hurt me."
To her surprise, the beast
dropped down on all fours to be closer to her, and shook his massive head. A
lock from his dark mane fell over his blue-gray eyes, and Justine paused. It
made no sense for him to remind her of... Victor.
Maybe it was just that feeling
they inspired in her that drew the comparison in her mind. That feeling she got
when she stood on the edge of a cliff and stared down, and wondered what it
would feel like to jump if only she had wings to keep her from crashing.
Staring at the beast now, he felt like both the cliff... and the wings.
"I had no choice but to take
you, Princess," he said, his voice gravelly and deep. "Do not run
from me."
The cadence of his low voice
sounded familiar, but that didn't make sense.
"You're not real,"
Justine said. "I fainted at my wedding and hit my head; I'm sure of
it."
The beast loomed over her,
covering her with his body, so there would be no escape. "I am real."
"Please, do not harm me,
Beast, I beg you."
"I will not harm you,"
he said. "Look at me, Princess. *You know me.*"
No. This wasn't real. "You
are a figment of my imagination. There is no beast like you in nature. "
His face was millimeters from her
own. He pressed his cheek to hers, his rough whiskers prickling her own
delicate skin.
Goosebumps raised along her arms.
If it were a dream, would she be feeling that?
"I am real," he
growled. "But you are right about one thing, Princess. I am not
natural."
"Please wake up," she
shouted, hoping it would jolt her out of her nightmare.
With a dangerous smile that bared
his fangs, the beast gripped her arm. "This is no dream. Shall I pinch
you, and prove it?"
"Yes," she said, with a
boldness she didn’t feel. This nightmare was going on too long—
The beast raised one thick
eyebrow... though the eyebrow blended in on his face, which was covered in
smooth short hairs that did nothing to hide his strong jaw and high cheekbones.
