Claimed by the Wild Hunt: A Spicy Christmas Monster Romance
Roxy Wilde
She screamed her grief at the winter sky. The Wild Hunt answered.
Catherine is done believing.
Three months since her grandmother died. Three months of holding herself together with composure and whiskey. When she stands in a frozen field on the winter solstice to scatter the ashes, she doesn't believe in the old stories—the ones about veils thinning and ancient things that ride when darkness stretches longest. She's just keeping a promise to the only person who ever stayed.
Then the sky tears open. The hounds descend. And a spectral king on a nightmare horse blocks her path.
She should scream. She should run. Instead, she tells the Lord of the Wild Hunt to get on with killing her—she has things to do.
He hasn't felt anything in six hundred years. She makes him feel everything.
Cadeyrn was a king once—before his court betrayed him, before they murdered him in his own hall, before he became the monster who rides the longest night hunting souls. He's been numb for centuries. Cold. Dead in every way that matters.
Then a mortal woman with fire in her eyes refuses to fear him, and something frozen inside him cracks wide open.
He claims her instead of killing her. Pulls her onto his horse. Races her across the sky while the Hunt howls behind them.
They have until dawn.
When the sun rises, the veil closes. He returns to smoke and memory. She returns to her empty life.
But the longest night has hours left. And neither of them wants to waste it.
