About this audiobook

Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. A vampire romance of an accidental pregnancy, small-town secrets, a runaway bride, and the enemy who claimed her heart. Fire-wielder Elara Voss has spent a decade running from the night her magic burned down her family’s estate, killing her father and leaving her brother on the brink of death. Now, the only cure for his wasting curse lies in the forbidden Shadow Vale—a realm ruled by the one vampire she despises: Rhys Corbin, the shadow-wielding lord who once betrayed her. To save her brother, Elara must strike a deal with her enemy: she will retrieve the ancient Emberstone from the Vale’s core, but Rhys demands she stay in his cursed castle as his guest—and his prisoner. The complication? Every night she spends in his domain, the flames inside her grow wilder, and the bond between fire and shadow awakens a dark prophecy that could shatter both their worlds. The impossible choice: if Elara masters the Emberstone, she can heal her brother—but the stone’s power will consume Rhys, leaving him a hollow shell. If she refuses, her brother dies, and the curse that killed her father will spread to the entire small town of Ashwood Hollow, unleashing a plague of shadow-beasts that feed on mortal souls. But the ancient curse binding the Vale has a third clause: fire and shadow cannot unite without a sacrifice of blood, and Elara is carrying a child—the first flame-born in a century—whose life force is the key to breaking the curse. She must choose between the brother she failed and the enemy she’s beginning to love, all while hiding her pregnancy from the man who would use it to bind her forever. Tropes: enemies to lovers, forced proximity, only one bed, accidental pregnancy, small-town secrets, runaway bride, fated mates, dark fantasy romance. The Ember and Shade Series continues with Book 2, A Court of Ash and Bone, where Elara and Rhys face the consequences of their sacrifice as the curse awakens an even older evil. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Kresley Cole who crave slow-burn passion, morally gray heroes, and heroines who wield fire as fiercely as their hearts. Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
