Until he lost his magic.
Even the best experts can’t understand it, and every possible remedy has failed. Regin is furious, miserable, and desperate enough to try anything. Even if that means hiring a greedy, defiant, and oddly compelling stranger to share his bed…
Selby Seng is a poor, travelling pedlar, who practices a rare, illicit brand of earth-magic.
She's shocked when the Coven confronts her with an astonishing claim: she happens to have a deep magical affinity with the great Regin Agmund. And if she agrees to give him her maidenhood — along with three whole months in his bed — she just might bring his magic back.
The price is right, so Selby finally relents — only to discover that in real life, the world’s greatest air-mage is dreadful. He’s hostile, arrogant, and ruthless, with cruel friends, a jealous ex, and a blind loyalty to a Coven that reeks of death.
But when Regin takes Selby to bed, it’s raw and angry and utterly glorious. And as the heat between them keeps rising, Selby can almost forget that this desperate, deadly, delicious air-mage is only in it for the magic…
Or is he? And when Regin’s privileged, powerful world starts to close in on Selby, which side will he choose? What will it cost him to keep his secret, snarky, sexy-as-hell new lover safe — and to win her trust, and her heart, for good?
A scorching, angsty, full-length enemies to lovers fantasy romance. For fans of cocky alpha wizards, steamy hate scenes, magical mystery and danger, and heartfelt happily ever afters.
Please note: Contains mature themes, intense scenes (with some BDSM), and strong language. Intended for adult readers.
