The Choosing Chronicles by Elayna R. Gallea
He requires a wife. She needs to kill him. All’s fair in pursuit of love and revenge.
This duet contains both halves of Ryker and Brynleigh’s story in one volume: A Game of Love and Betrayal, and A Heart of Desire and Deceit, as well as a 1.5 short story following Jelisette and Emery, A Song of Blood and Shadows.
What’s a vampire to do when the fae who made her an orphan is searching for a wife?
Make him choose her and end his life on their wedding night, of course.
Brynleigh has been carefully planning this for years. Her plan is simple: date Ryker Waterborn, the Fae Representative’s son, make him fall in love with her, and kill him after they say, “I do.”
Unfortunately, it will not be that easy. She won’t be the only one going after Ryker’s hand. Far from it. Two dozen men and women are competing in the Choosing, each searching for their perfect partner. The catch? It’s a blind selection process, and contestants won’t see each other until they have made their choice.
Nothing will stand between Brynleigh and her revenge, not even a competition for love.
