Helda steamy monster romance

Skullstalker Brides #2 / 2
by Isabelle Taylor
Held: a steamy monster romance (Skullstalker Brides #2) by Isabelle Taylor
Unrated

Briar Copperwood needs a cure.

Thanks to an annoying warlock, Briar needs to sleep with someone once a day or die.

Which is fine when she’s flirting (and pickpocketing) her way through small towns. But there aren’t many options when she’s trekking through the woods to reach the only witch who might be able to remove her curse.

Then she runs into a Skullstalker, the surest sign of death in the mortal realm. But instead of devouring her like she expects, he makes her an offer that could save them both.

—

Wick would do anything for a cure.

The meek Skullstalker has been haunted by a blood frenzy ever since he could remember. At any moment, he could fly into a rage and become the monster everyone expects him to be.

There is nothing to stop it. Until a wry mortal runs into his path with a mysterious amulet that dulls the blood frenzy for the first time in his long existence.

They form an arrangement: he will lie with her each day to stave off her curse, and she will help fight his blood frenzy with her amulet.

It should be simple. But every day brings new pleasure and closeness, until they both begin to dread the curses’ end…

HELD is a high heat monster romance with smutty curses, a devoted monster, and a HEA. Perfect for fans of Opal Reyne and Katee Robert. It is part of the Skullstalker Brides series but you can read it as a standalone.

Also known as Bound Book 2.
