Lorcan Equinox never expects a human woman to awaken the dark, carnal desire he's suppressed for decades--until she defies the very curse that made him untouchable. Season 1 of Fae's Curse *** Amberly Reed was supposed to die the moment she touched the Fae lord. Now, whisked away to his manor in the Faelands, she struggles to thrive in a world where mortals are unwelcome. Her only power here is her seemingly intoxicating effect on Lorcan, who--as much as he clashes and bickers with her--can't seem to stay away. Even so, any relationship between them is forbidden, and could spell certain death for Amberly if it's discovered. But when she learns that Lorcan's curse is slowly killing him, she must discern what her growing feelings mean, and decide if she's willing to risk everything to save him. *** ❝You didn't see it, but every male in that room was eyeing you up. Every damn one. They wanted a taste of you.❞ His voice is dark with envy. I swallow - hard. ❝I wanted to tear off that damned dress and take you right there, to show every leering bastard❞--he begins to move faster--❝that you aren't theirs to take.❞

She was back on Wanti, but she was running. Her clothes were in tattered shreds and she was bloody. Something was after her, toppling trees to get to her. “Derek!” she screamed. She knew that she’d be safe if she could get to him or vice versa, but he wasn’t answering. “Derek!” she cried out. The tears stung almost as much as her legs stung from running endlessly. “Why did you leave me?!” Blood was starting to get into her eyes, blurring the landscape around her, “Where are you?” She tripped hard, rolling over her limbs so many times, that she ran out of numbers. When she finally stopped, the sound of falling trees made Kylie look up. She made a move to get up, only to get a sharp, pain in her ankle. Casting a glance down revealed, a thick shard of lavender zigva bark completely imbedded in her ankle. “Derek!!!!!!” her cry was one of pain and hurt; how’d he gotten far enough away that her voice couldn’t reach him. She needed him, but where was he? Had he given up on her? Why now? She cried out for him as the boisterous crashing of wood got too close.
