Captured By the Fae Beast by Mallory Dunlin

When the fae save your life, they own it—no matter how monstrous they are.

A literal beast holds the key to her freedom. He’s feared by the Court and known for killing all who oppose him. Escape is not an option. Against every story she’s ever read, she’ll have to strike a bargain with the fae.
Leah had a good life: a cushy job, cute boyfriend, and enough money to go on vacation. But when disaster strikes in the backcountry of Yosemite, she’s left with no options. The appearance of a handsome stranger seems like salvation—until she looks into his inhuman golden eyes.
She always loved reading fae romances, but she never thought she’d star in one.
The crown prince is violent, unpredictable, and an animalistic brute compared to the ethereal beauty of the other fae. Claiming to be Leah’s soulmate, he offers her a deal: stay as his guest for a year and a day and he’ll let her go… but only if she still doesn’t love him.
Yet nothing is as it seems in Faery, even the wolf-eyed fae prince who wants to keep Leah by his side. She needs to get back to her family—but how is she supposed to stay away from the monster who wants to make her his world?

Captured by the Fae Beast is a complete, stand-alone novel loosely inspired by the story of Hades and Persephone. This passionate tale of loyalty and challenge will sweep you off your feet with a swoon-worthy romance perfect for fans of reluctant soulmates and monsters with hearts of gold.
