From USA Today bestselling author Holly Renee comes the indie sensation — a beautifully dark and spicy fantasy romance about the twisting threads of fate vs. duty and the all-consuming power of desire.

Betray a kingdom or betray my heart.

My union to the crowned prince will determine the fate of the kingdom, but it isn't my betrothed who haunts my dreams—it's the half-fae bastard who stands at his side.

He is darkness and sin, and when he whispers wickedness in my ear, I crave a man I can't have. Every thought I have is treasonous. The way my hands ache to touch him deceitful. Even my dreams make me a traitor to the kingdom I am sworn to protect.

But when our kingdom is attacked, I am forced to make a choice... and face a bitter truth. For our lies and deception are entangled in the shadows and stars, and as they unravel, so shall my fate.

About the Author

USA Today Bestselling Author Holly Renee brings readers a pinch of angst, an indulgence of heat, and the perfect amount of heart in every book. Born and raised in East Tennessee, she is a married mom of two wild children. When she's not writing, you can find her reading, pretending to be a dragon for the hundredth time that day, being disgustingly in love with her husband, or chilling in the middle of the lake with her sunglasses and a float.
