He was the danger she was warned about. She became the reason he learned to hope again.

WARRIOR. PRINCESS. SORCERESS.

Princess Aurora of Amador dreams of battlefields and freedom, not betrothals and ballroom gowns. When an arranged marriage threatens to end her dreams forever, she makes a daring escape—only to be rescued by a creature long believed to be her kingdom’s greatest enemy.

As forbidden powers awaken within her, Aurora begins to uncover dangerous secrets. Her father, once a noble king, now bends to the will of her stepmother—the fae Dorova—whose beauty hides a hunger for power and control. As dark magic tightens its hold on the throne, Aurora realizes the true war was never beyond the castle walls, but within them.

In the heart of danger, trust becomes her sharpest weapon—and love her most perilous choice. For the line between enemy and protector, monster and man, is thinner than she ever imagined.

To Love a Monster is a tale of forbidden love, ancient magic, and a princess’s fight to reclaim both her freedom and her heart.
