Mated to the Krampus Shifter (Fated Mates of the Realm #1)

How can the beast who haunts the forest be my fated mate?

For years, the mysterious, fearsome beast who haunts the forest has captivated me. As a young girl, I would sneak into the woods at night, hoping to catch a glimpse of the creature whispered about in fearful tones. Little did I know my curiosity would lead me to a destiny I never expected.

During a festive celebration in the village, the enigmatic Lord Vahtal, who resides in the grand estate overlooking the village, approaches me with a startling revelation—we are fated mates. Skeptical and bewildered, I can’t fathom why a man like him would be fated to a spinster bookworm like myself.

But there’s more to Lord Vahtal than he reveals. When he takes me to his estate as his wife, I discover the truth—he is the very beast I had been fascinated by all these years. On our first night together, he unveils his beastly side, leaving me torn between need and terror.

And as I grow heavy with his child and his nightly sojourns into the forest increase, will I be able to brave the forest and discover his secret, or will the beast, and the father of my unborn child, forever remain a mystery?

This high-heat paranormal romance contains a hot, alpha beast lord who goes feral with desire for his bride, a bookish heroine who blossoms under her mate’s possessive attention, a dash of suspense, a lot of spice, pregnancy, and birth.

Although the first part of a series, this story can be read as a standalone.
