Bought by the Colossus: Monsters' Bride Market

Born of a dead mother and a necromancer’s spell, I am a walking plague. One brush of my skin withers flowers, rots flesh, and stops hearts. I am a weapon, used by a tyrant to find the mythical Golden Fleece.

And then I meet him. Aion. The Colossus.

A metallic monster of living bronze, fueled by death energy. He reaches to shatter my chains, and I wait for him to die. But he doesn't wither. He doesn't turn to dust. For the first time, a man touches me... and lives.

Now, to stay with him, I must enter the bride market.

This silent giant, a creature without a heartbeat, is the only one who can survive my curse. In his arms, I’m not a blight to be caged. I am a woman to be desired. He is the only one I can ever choose.

But the tyrant I betrayed will burn this world to reclaim his weapon. And in a city where my curse can't harm the man I desire, I might still be the one thing that destroys us all.

Welcome to the bride market! Monsters bid, you choose.

This is a spin-off series to Arranged Monster Mates. We’re back on Alia Terra with steamy stories told by your favorite paranormal romance authors: Eva Brandt, Lia Frost, Cara Wylde, and Ava York.
