Phillipa Willoughby already had one successful Season, betrothed to Wesley, Duke of Chelmsford. But after her kind and gentle husband mysteriously disappears on their wedding night, she finds polite society intolerable and withdraws to the woodlands. She is delighted to learn the ways of the herbs and crystals she's found in the forest, and the traditions of the fae who call the woodlands home.



But all is not peaceful in this newly found sanctuary. The woodland creatures are being terrorized by a Wolven King.



When Her Majesty demands she attend The Monsters Ball, a three-day affair at a remote gothic estate, her family threatens to shun her if she attends. She plans to seduce the noblest members of this monstrous society to get information on the fearsome Wolven King.



Few have seen the beastly royal with their own eyes, but she'll stop at nothing for the chance to confront him.



But the Wolven King is on a mission too. When he's given a chance to reveal himself to Phillipa in his wolven form at the ball, he's reluctant. He's feral. And he's determined to reclaim the love of his life, even if the lady has vowed to destroy him.



Contains mature themes.
