Description

"A beautifully twisted fever dream." - EVIE MARCEAU, author of White Horse Black Nights


SLEEPING BEAUTY x HADES & PERSEPHONE


Tarian Hadez-thirty-three, real estate mogul, mob lord, most eligible bachelor in New England, god. The god-part is an exaggeration. After all, if true deities existed, then the world would be a magical place, and it's really not. At least, my world isn't.


Calanthe Bloom. That's me. Twenty-four, college graduate drowning in debt, true crime addict, florist by default, single by design. Although not living my best life, I'm enthusiastically pursuing it. Especially, in my dreams, which, since a recent flower-delivery snafu, all feature none other than lethally private Tarian.


Oh, the things he does to me when I sleep.


Wickedly surreal.


Except . . . are they?


Enter a world of gods and monsters where dreams are made of flesh. My Dark Beast is a paranormal romance standalone brimming with spice and intrigue.



Tropes: forced proximity, fated love, enemies to lovers, possessive MMC, touch her and die, grumpy / sunshine


Content warning: strong language, sexually explicit scenes, graphic violence, Alzheimer's, alcohol drinking, abduction of an adult, addiction to "magical" drugs (off page), death of a loved one (off page).
