I don’t need a monstrous centaur in my life, but he’s already decided I belong to him.

Hazel
As the landlady of the only tavern in the notorious Night Lands, I’m used to dealing with all types of monsters, big and small, bad and badder. They call me Lady Ryle, and they don’t dare get on the wrong side of me.
Then the Brag rides in, uninvited. A giant centaur horse shifter with a penchant for apples and abs for days, along with the cutest pair of horns this side of the veil.
Not that I’m interested, no matter how good looking Warden is, not after he breaks my ceiling then uses magic to install a tiki bar by way of repair. A tiki bar! Gods knows what my regulars are going to think.
Not that I have any chance to find out. Not when a portal opens beneath my feet and drags us down to the Underhill. Where we are hunted by monsters even more terrifying than the ones in my dreams.
Warden might be easy on the eye, he might even be able to handle himself in this dangerous place, but I’m far more dangerous than he could possibly know and any spark between us simply cannot happen.
No matter what my body wants when our lips meet…

Warden
I fought hoof and nail to become the jailer of the Shadow Keep. To watch over the Faerie scum captured in the course of the wars.
I certainly never intended falling for Lady Ryle. In my case, literally, when I dropped through her floor into the bar below. Not the best way to introduce myself.
I am forbidden from taking a mate, until I find my mortality and regain my true magic. An immortal Brag is an abomination, and I only accepted what I have become because I can continue to deal with the Faerie in my charge…and make them pay for their crimes against the Yeavering.
Until I met my lady. Now everything has changed. I have to protect her, no matter what she can do for herself. This perfect being, this beautiful female…she is mine and I will not stop until the whole of the Yeavering knows it.
