Caelen (Monsters of Veridia #2)

Never fall for the villain.

Daniel is done dating bad boys—at least in real life. His only crush these days? The Shadow King: a devastatingly dangerous half-fae villain safely trapped in the pages of his favorite web novel.

Until he isnt.

The barrier between their world shatters, and when Caelen steps through, he tries to claim Daniel as his mate. His touch makes Daniel shiver, his kisses make him burn, and theres nothing safe about him anymore.

But Daniel doesnt want safe. He wants the man he glimpses behind the darkness consuming the Shadow Kings soul. As their bond deepens though, he senses something else lurking in that darkness—a secret that could destroy them both.

Every instinct screams at Daniel to run. He knows better than to fall for the villain, better than to risk everything for an impossible love.

He’s going to do it anyway.
