Hook meets Mr. & Mrs. Smith:
The First of Never is a fairy-tale inspired dark fantasy romance with suspense, action, court intrigue, and a spicy spy vs. spy fated-mates pairing.”Once upon a time” is now. In this dark Neverland tale, the fairies have all fled long ago. Tigerlily’s grown up with the heavy crown of heir to the kingdom hanging over her fiery red head–her inheritance is more curse than blessing. She’s on the run under the alias Aurelia, hiding from multiple enemies who will stop at nothing to eliminate her. A devious double-cross plan means her Lost Boy fated mate, Calix, is both the assassin hot on her tail and a target himself.
The fabled ticking alarm clock? It’s dozens of watch faces embedded in the ash-mottled skin of La Crocodíl, a psychotic drug queenpin bent on capturing the throne for herself. Ivo “Hook” Emerald is the Pirate Horde leader, a dashing, cold-blooded murderer slashing and burning his way to the top…and he’s partnered with icy, calculating business mogul Peter Darlington IV to grab whatever they can of a vulnerable kingdom with an ailing King.Alliances and betrayals twist and turn, beauty is a weapon, and emotion is a weakness in this ruthless royal game. The romance is as dark as the blood that blackens the castle floors and taints the waters of Mermaid Cove, and love is the shot of sweet poison you hope to survive…on The First of Never.
