The Dryad’s Embrace by Nikki Riker

Lorraine never imagined her desperate escape would lead her into the arms of a creature from her darkest fantasies. Fleeing a life of terror, she stumbles into an enchanted forest, where the shadows are alive and nothing is as it seems. There, she’s rescued by Ash—a powerful dryad with glowing eyes and a body forged from ancient magic.
Ash offers her protection, but his help comes at a price: her freedom in exchange for a bond that ties her to him until the next full moon. As Lorraine’s fear gives way to a passion she’s never known, she must navigate a world of dark magic and dangerous secrets, all while fighting the growing attraction between them.
Will Lorraine risk her heart and her life for the monster who saved her, or will she be consumed by the darkness?
Perfect for fans of alpha males, fated mates, and steamy monster romance.
