Synopsis

I came to my mate as his enemy. I didn't expect to walk in on him mid-thrust with another woman—or for every nerve in my body to catch fire at the sight of him. I'm the last surviving royal of a slaughtered bloodline. For eight years, I've been running from the monster who stole my kingdom and tried to break me into his obedient bride. I swore I'd never let another powerful man touch me again. Then the sinfully gorgeous, maddeningly arrogant new boss of Hell launched his Underworld Bride Trials: a savage contest where women fight to the death for his crown and his bed. I entered to take his head. Not to fall for him. But his hellfire calls to my ice like it was made for me. His beast recognizes me before either of us is ready. And when his lips finally crash into mine, I don't taste an enemy. I taste fate. Now I'm caught between a blood contract that demands his death, a game designed to destroy me, and a mating bond neither of us can fight. His fire is the weapon I've searched the universe for and the one thing that could save my people. Killing him would doom me. Loving him might doom us both. Underworld Bride Trials is a spicy dark fantasy romance featuring a morally grey demon king, a fierce heroine who bows to no one, fated mates, a deadly competition, and enough heat to melt the Underworld.
