We call the Kylorr demons. Monsters. Never in a million years did I expect to call one husband . . .

In this red-hot monster romance, discover fated mates, insatiable passions, and fantastical alien worlds—a standalone novel in the USA Today bestselling Brides of the Kylorr series.


I’m drowning under the weight of my father’s debts. Working myself to the bone, I know that if I don’t pay them off in time, the sadistic creditors will take everything: our home, our respected name, and, worst of all, my two beautiful sisters.

To save my family, I agree to do something reckless: marry a wealthy and mysterious stranger, who offers me a wicked bargain I can’t afford to refuse.

However, his bargain comes with one terrifying catch. Because my husband-to-be is a Kylorr. One of the most fearsome alien races, the Kylorr are beastly monsters, all muscle and menace, with powerful wings, depraved cravings, and berserker-like rages. The worst part?

They survive on blood.

Cold and cruel, Azur of House Kaalium, the High Lord of Laras, demands me as his blood bride. To feed from me. To use my body in whatever way he wishes. But if Azur expects a demure, submissive wife, he’ll be in for a rude awakening. My new husband might crave my surrender but there’s one thing I’ll never give him.

My heart . . . even if he wants to shatter it into a million pieces.

Includes a bonus epilogue featuring Azur & Gemma, as well as an interior black-and-white map
