The Chosen Prey

Every year, the savage hunters of the Forgotten Hills choose a woman to be their prey in a deadly game of survival. If she can outrun and outsmart them through the treacherous wilderness, she wins her life-and the dubious honor of becoming the bride of their ruthless leader. No one has ever survived. Until now.

When Lila is taken from her quiet life and thrust into this twisted hunt, she's determined to escape. But as she fights for her freedom, the leader of the hunters becomes obsessed with her. He admires her strength, her cunning, and her will to survive-and he'll stop at nothing to make her his. What starts as a battle for survival turns into a dangerous dance between predator and prey, where the line between fear and desire blurs.

Caught between her instinct to escape and the unsettling connection growing between them, Lila must decide: will she find a way to break free, or will she surrender to the darkness that's calling her deeper into the heart of the hunt?
