Publisher's Synopsis
What was the real story behind the wicked stepmother? Was she really 'wicked'? Or was there more?
A different view of one of the most prominent figures in fairy tales - the wicked stepmother.
But then a winter storm prevents them from returning home and forces them to seek shelter in the Beast's Lair. Tragedy strikes and her husband seizes the moment to take control of their marriage.
As Heinrich seduces her body, her mind struggles to accept what her heart knows is the only path.
And then Bettina discovers her mother's darkest secret and who she truly is.
When he realizes the truth, will Heinrich still want her at his side? This story takes place within the timeline of Claimed by the Beast.
It's an age-gap, very steamy tale of two people who realize there's much more going on in the kingdom.
Read only if you can handle the heat!
