When a monstrous beast attacks in Eurona, desperate measures must be taken. The king sends a proclamation to the best and bravest hunters: whoever kills the creature will win the hand of his daughter Princess Aerity as a reward. The princess recognizes her duty but cannot bear the idea of marrying a strangerâshe was meant to marry for loveâuntil a brooding local hunter, Paxton Seabolt, catches her attention. And while thereâs no denying the fiery chemistry between them, Princess Aerity feels that Paxtonâs mysteriousness is foreboding, maybe even dangerous.
Paxton is not the marrying type. Nor does he care much for spoiled royals and their arcane laws. He is determined to keep his focus on the task at handâridding the kingdom of the beastâbut the princess continues to surprise him, and the secrets heâs buried begin to surface against his wishes.
