Description

One moment, you're scolding the injured snake on your pillow; the next, a man is pinning you down, his voice a low hiss against your ear. You've always had a crippling fear of snakes, but for the sake of your grade in mythology class, you reluctantly agreed to care for a rare, wounded serpent. You never imagined this 'serpent' was Kaelan, the arrogant and powerful king of a shapeshifting race, betrayed and trapped in his animal form by a curse. He is ancient, proud, and utterly infuriated by his dependence on a mortal like you. Yet, he's also intrigued by your fearful but gentle touch. As you navigate your phobia to care for him, you'll find yourself caught in a web of danger and desire. What will you do when the curse temporarily shatters, and you find a dangerously handsome—and very naked—king in your bedroom, who sees you as both his captor and his only salvation?
