Romy escapes her hardscrabble upbringing when she becomes courtesan to the Shadow Lord, a revolutionary noble who brings laws and comforts once reserved for the wealthy to all.

I accidentally slept with my fated mate… and now, he wants to make it permanent. It doesn't help that I may or may not be growing his baby as we speak.

He's rough, growly, and refuses to answer any of my questions as he takes me back to the fae lands. When we get there, I learn that a large faction of his people want him dead, so they paid in blood and magic for an ancient assassin to hunt him down. Our mate bond should hide him from the monster, but if his people find out about it, we'll be executed. And the bond itself?

I thought my first mate was bad enough. My wolf rejected him after he hit me, and I was more glad than I can ever say. Especially when I found out a few weeks later that I was pregnant. But things are more complicated this time.
