To Vex a Dark Prince

He carries himself like the sort of boy you'd sell your own soul to learn the secrets of. A dark symphony filled with hidden notes and staggered pauses. Colette Beauregard is a marked woman.

Forced to live the rest of her life on the run disguised as a boy, she finds herself in even more trouble after she punches a stranger in a bar. A stranger who turns out to be the crown prince, Leif Threadgold. Arrested and taken to the palace dungeon, Colette must choose between two fates-be sentenced to hard labor on a vampire-infested border or become the prince's new whipping boy for six months, bearing the lashes for the prince when he misbehaves.

She chooses the latter and is thrust into palace life. It won't be easy to hide she's a girl while also keeping the prince on his best behavior, even as he tries to sabotage her at every turn. But despite the shared hatred, a strange tension builds between the two after the prince drunkenly kisses her.

Now, Colette must unravel her forbidden feelings for the man she despises, all while protecting her secret. As dalliances behind closed doors turn to more between her and her royal enemy, her true identity becomes even more difficult to hide.
