His Captive Sorceress

62 parts Complete Mature

Help him!? Help the prince of the kingdom that locked me up? Joining that man is the second last thing I want to do. The very last thing is to go back to the cell they've held me in for years. That's the deal the dark, intimidating prince offers me - use my curse to his benefit, and I'll be granted my freedom. What the prince doesn't know is that I made a vow - a vow to never harm anyone with my curse again. I agree to his bargain, but I must escape his grasp before I'm expected to fulfill my end. But escape isn't easy when the prince refuses to take his eyes off me. He's the first man to see beyond my curse, to see the girl beneath who just wants to belong. With time, I too learn to see past his frightening uniform and prestigious titles. My heart aches over the secrets I'm forced to keep from him, secrets that will bring his whole world crashing down.
