Her Tortured Beasts
by E.P. Bali
Book 4 in Her Vicious Beasts
The darkest book in the Her Vicious Beasts series delivers on the enemies-to-lovers promise with Xander - the mate who formally rejected Aurelia. The hate-to-love tension is razor sharp, the groveling is satisfying, and the dragon-shifter dynamics add a layer of feral intensity. For readers who love their why-choose with teeth.
