“Lady Ashanti, we have captured a beastman. The curse that plagues you will soon be broken.” Lord Conrad’s voice echoed through the marble hall as he entered, the sound of his heavy booted stride preceding him.Astonished, Ashanti dropped the heavy, leather bound Grimoire she’d been studying, her fingers gone weak at his announcement. It landed with a dull thud on the plush carpet covering the marble, forgotten.A smile that chilled her blood slashed across his dark face... more“Lady Ashanti, we have captured a beastman. The curse that plagues you will soon be broken.” Lord Conrad’s voice echoed through the marble hall as he entered, the sound of his heavy booted stride preceding him.Astonished, Ashanti dropped the heavy, leather bound Grimoire she’d been studying, her fingers gone weak at his announcement. It landed with a dull thud on the plush carpet covering the marble, forgotten.A smile that chilled her blood slashed across his dark face.Ashanti returned his smile hesitantly as she rose unsteadily from the scattered pile of pillows she’d been resting on. The light golden chains of her skirt jingled softly as she moved.She had always hated the garments Lord Conrad insisted that she wear, which were more revealing than concealing. Under other circumstances, she might have found some appeal in the jewel colored, gossamer veils and intricately wrought, golden chains that made up her costumes, but she could scarcely stomach having Lord Conrad look at her at all. The lustful gleam that entered his eyes each time he looked upon her near nakedness made her feel far more than indecent. It made her feel befouled, and yet her mind was such a jumble from his pronouncement that she was only vaguely aware of the conflicting emotions that generally assailed her in Lord Conrad’s presence.An end to her torment!Or would it be just the beginning? She knew he planned to claim her once the curse had been broken—if it was even possible.“How can this be? The beastpeople are forbidden to enter this land, as we are theirs.” An uneasiness assailed her at the implications and she frowned. What had he done?Typically, the tinkling sounds of her chains drew Lord Conrad’s attention. He ran his gaze over her body, his eyes a soulless black as lust filled him. Careful to conceal her revulsion, she endured his look, pushing it to the back of her mind as she generally did. “Please do not tell me you risked your men to enter Shadowmere.”Much as she despised him and her virtual imprisonment, she couldn’t abide the thought of bloodshed and endangerment so needless. She wondered how many men he’d lost to his obsessions but knew it didn’t bear thinking on.Lord Conrad continued smiling as if she hadn’t spoken, his black eyes glittering like a serpent’s. She refrained from shivering, knowing it would not help her cause. He crossed the distance spanning them and clasped her in his arms, apparently completely oblivious to the fact that she went rigid, trying to hold herself aloof from his armor clad body. His musky scent filled her nostrils and she breathed through her mouth to avoid his familiar scent. His clammy hands smoothed over the bare skin of her waist, his clinging fingers bringing to mind leeches.“Your concern touches me, beloved. Rest assured, we were careful and not detected. He shall not be missed. I suspect he was naught more than a rogue hunter, for the condition we found him in....He was easily taken.” He chuckled, his cruelty seeping out like oil, tainting her with his foulness. She wanted desperately to be free of him, to go and bathe his stench and touch from her skin. less

An enemy of her people, the dragon shifter risked his life to get a glimpse of the beauty who was destined to be his bride. He stole into her room in the night, a stranger in a strange land, come to win the hand of the lovely Princess Kisah.What she could not know was that the stranger who’d invaded her rooms was the same barbarian who dominated the games to decide which warrior amongst them would be her husband... moreAn enemy of her people, the dragon shifter risked his life to get a glimpse of the beauty who was destined to be his bride. He stole into her room in the night, a stranger in a strange land, come to win the hand of the lovely Princess Kisah.What she could not know was that the stranger who’d invaded her rooms was the same barbarian who dominated the games to decide which warrior amongst them would be her husband. The golden warrior’s prowess in battle would first capture her attention, but it was his determination to woo her that would steal her heart.Rating: Previously released under another title, this book has been extensively revised, expanded, and re-edited in keeping with the rest of the Beastmen of Shadowmere series for interracial romance and shape-shifters with strong heroines and alpha heroes. It contains mild violence, graphic adult language and sexual content and situations, but is a romance first and foremost with steamy content, and does not have gratuitous love scenes which would be construed as erotic romance. less

In a land shrouded in darkness, protected by magic and the fierceness of its people--for those who venture into these forbidden lands, the penalty is death ... or worse. But sometimes it is not the monsters who are to be feared, but the emptiness of an existence without love.
