Bonded to the Beast

<h4>I didn't mean to steal the book-but I did... and now I'm in big big trouble. </h4><p><br></p><p>The moment I convinced one of my loyal customers to buy the leather-bound spellbook I regretted it. At first I thought it was because I could've gotten more than fifty dollars for it-money that would've come in handy while I was on vacay-but while I was on the beach all I kept thinking about was the book.</p><p><br></p><p>It called to me for some weird reason and when I got Shannon's message that she had a question about it I hoped that meant she would let me buy it back. Nope. She wanted to know where I got it from.</p><p><br></p><p>Too bad I had no idea. Almost as if by fate it popped up in one of my boxes of stock but I couldn't trace it. Believe me I <em>tried</em>.</p><p><br></p><p>So when Shannon offered to drop it off so that I could get a closer look at it I jumped at the chance. And that's how I found the true love spell in the middle of the book.</p><p><br></p><p>I don't know what made me decide it was a good idea to read it out loud or what came over me when the beastly shadow monster appeared in my bedroom and crooked his claw at me...</p><p><br></p><p>One thing led to another and suddenly I'm the bonded mate to a horned demon who doesn't speak English who stole me away to a terrifying world of shadows and skulls and who I can't stop touching even so.</p><p><br></p><p>When I finally understand him there's only one thing my new mate wants to make sure is clear: I'm his. He has no intention of letting me go either in Sombra or my world.</p><p><br></p><p>And it isn't long before I start to wonder if it would really be so bad to be forever bonded to the beast... especially when I discover just what mating during the gold moon in Sombra leads to.</p>
