Taming the Kraken (Celestial #5)

Destined to a mate she’s never met. Drawn to a love that avoids her. Hunted by an enemy who sees the fairy princess not as salvation, but as the perfect instrument for vengeance.

Alexa has never been allowed to be ordinary. Fairy princess. Demi-god. Heir to a kingdom and a prophecy. Everyone expects greatness from her.

Everyone except the one person who should stand by her side.

Her fated mate. The man who hides from her. The one who should claim her … yet refuses to even face her.

Is he avoiding her to protect her? Or because he doesn’t want her at all?

While Alexa wrestles with heartbreak and duty, a second presence watches her from the shadows. Someone ancient, someone cursed, someone with a thirst for revenge.

Ken, the Kraken, was condemned by the gods to an eternity at sea. His only hope of breaking the curse is to claim a land-dwelling mate.

But when he discovers his true mate is the next fairy princess, he knows he can never taint her with his darkness.

Ken’s plan is simple: avoid her, break his curse through another, and spare her from the monster he’s become. He’ll watch from the shadows as she grows, laughs, loves.

He’ll content himself with stolen glimpses of a life he can never touch. Until watching is no longer enough.

When duty, desire, and destiny collide, some bonds refuse to stay hidden—and some hungers cannot be denied.
