Barbarian Prince


Michelle M. Pillow - 2004
    Going undercover at a mass wedding as a bartered bride, Morrigan Blake has every intention of getting off the barbaric planet just as soon as it’s over. Or, more correctly, just as soon as she captures footage of the mysterious princes rumored to be in attendance. After a euphoric night, Morrigan discovers her spaceship left without her, and Ualan of Draig is claiming she’s his wife. It’s not exactly the story this reporter had in mind. And to make matters worse, the all-to-seductive alpha refuses to take no for an answer. Being cursed by the Gods was never so frustrating... Prince Ualan is prepared to follow dragonshifter tradition and marry the woman revealed to him during the Breeding Festival. When the stubborn, yet achingly sexy, Morrigan refuses to accept their shared fate and his supreme authority over her, it is all he can do to keep from acting like the barbarian she accuses him of being.

Princess and the Beast


Chance Carter - 2016
    Deacon cares about three things. Getting wasted, getting dirty, and getting his wet mouth between my trembling legs! He's a Beast! So what's a smart, curvy girl like me doing, quivering at his every touch? I grew up in the fanciest part of Boston, only daughter to a rich and powerful man. I had everything money could buy, and I was lined up to marry a man just like my father. The only problem? Those rich guys had no heart, no passion, and their idea of love was having a piece of arm candy to show off to their business associates. They would never fulfill me, not in the way I craved. Deacon isn't like that, he made that clear from the beginning. He might not be winning any popularity contests at the country club, but when danger comes my way, he has my back. Um, my back, my front, my mouth, my lips, and every other part of me he wants! I'm his for the taking! And my man has an appetite! You've never seen a girl come as hard and as often as I do in Deacon's powerful, possessive hands. I never claimed to be a princess. I'm a kind person, I have a good heart, but I have desires too. I lay awake at night and think about being taken by this man, of feeling the weight of his muscular body on mine, of getting wet to his touch and feeling him slide inside me, making me moan his name. I didn't see this happening, it wasn't part of the plan, but I'm Deacon's now. And he's all mine. Every throbbing, rigid inch of him. Princess and the Beast is a four hundred page standalone with triggers, dominating love-making, detailed climaxes, and a Happy Ever After for the two lovers.
