A Cursed Slumber

Veil of Moonlight #2 / 4
by CM Haines
A Cursed Slumber (Veil of Moonlight #2) by CM Haines
Unrated

A bond so perfect even darkness can’t dim their love.

Everything was supposed to change on Rosalyn’s eighteenth birthday. The deal was that once the curse broke, she and Paxton would tell everyone the truth and finally get their happily ever after.

Instead, she fell into an eternal slumber.

Now, Paxton is on a quest to save the one woman he shouldn’t want. He’ll do whatever it takes to save his beautiful Rose, even if that means facing fire-breathing dragons, cruel warlocks… and her older brother, who happens to be his best friend and alpha.

Anything to free his precious mate from an immortal life of nightmares.

***
A Cursed Slumber is a spicy Sleeping Beauty retelling with wolf shifters, witches, and magic! It is intended for 18+ audiences, as there are graphic scenes and darker themes. Content warnings can be found in the beginning of the book or on the author's website.

This is the second book in a paranormal fantasy series inspired by fairy tales and other stories of the past. While each book features new main characters and a different retelling, there is a bigger story building throughout each, which will make more sense if you read them in order.

Also known as A Crimson Fate Book 2.
