Step into a world of corruption, power, and intrigue to follow one couple's fight to break a century of obligation forged by the darkest of sins.
KATE
I have always tried to be a good girl and live up to my family's impossible expectations. Never ask questions about my birth father. Never discuss the dark-clad men haunting my dreams. Never go to exclusive clubs or explore my urges. Jack Lawrence is everything my mother warned me about '' dark, dangerous, and dominant – everything they've kept me from my whole life.
How could I have known letting him fulfil my fantasies would start a war neither of us could walk away from?
JACK
The Harpyiai order values honour and purity above all. We are people-snatchers, monsters out of the darkest fairytales, and Masters of the illegitimates. The sins of our forefathers bind us in blood to a lifetime of obligation, rituals, and sacrifices.
My father broke Harpyiai tradition by having his illegitimate son trained as a Marquis. I'm the reluctant heir to his legacy and the Harpyiai castle, but now I live in hiding. Only one unbreakable rule keeps me safe: I cannot dishonour myself by coupling with an illegitimate. Then, a dark-haired beauty catches my eye, and I must have her – even if she's forbidden.
Thrill of Fear is the first book in The Harpies series. This is a dark secret society, contemporary forbidden romance with mafia elements and is meant for a mature audience only. The books must be read in order.
Genre: Historical Romance
