Lilies for the Cursed
(2023)(The second book in the Wicked Creatures Tales series)
A novel by Bella Durand
Princess.
Miracle child.
A plague upon the kingdom and its people.
Destined to fall into deep slumber on her twenty first birthday, only to be awoken by true love’s kiss.
With no end in sight, Raina's only chance at beating the curse was the dark wizard that appeared one day, promising her salvation and a chance at a normal life. She didn’t realize that the solution wouldn’t be the potion that he carried, but the mysterious young man accompanying him.
Draven was beautiful, kind...and much older than her. An enigma that she craved to solve. Her childish infatuation grew as she matured, until he became her entire world. Her everything. And then he disappeared out of the blue, leaving her heart-broken and confused.
He was darkness and pain, and as a winged vampire -- an abomination of nature and the only one of his kind. Fated to remain alone for the rest of his immortal existence, he wanted nothing to do with the girl whose life he was supposed to save.
She was too young, a silly girl with stars in her eyes. But then that girl grew up and became a woman that he could no longer ignore.
Her eyes lured him, her body tempted him. He wanted to keep her for himself, and so, he would do everything it took to make her love him once more. Even take away her freedom.
Lilies for the Cursed is the second book in a monster romance series Wicked Creatures Tales. It is a dark and steamy retelling of Sleeping Beauty and can be read as a standalone. It contains mature content as well as explicit adult scenes and is therefore intended for readers over the age of 18.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
