About this audiobook
Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads.
A fated mate bond. A desperate bargain. And a curse that could destroy them both. When botanist Elara Vance flees an arranged marriage into the cursed forest of Grymwood, she expects to find rare plants that could cure her dying sister. Instead, she finds him—a beast of fangs and fury, bound to the woods by an ancient spell. Kaelen is the Grymwood’s guardian, a man transformed into a monster, and he offers Elara a deal: shelter and access to the forest’s rarest flora in exchange for her help breaking his curse. But the moment their eyes meet, the bond snaps into place—a fated mate link neither of them wanted. Now Elara is torn between her sister’s life and her own growing feelings for a creature who could kill her with a single claw. Every touch dissolves the curse further, but the cost of breaking it fully might be her soul—and Kaelen’s humanity. As the forest’s magic twists around them, shadowy forces close in, and Elara discovers the curse is not what it seems. She must make an impossible choice: save her sister by completing the bargain, or save Kaelen by severing the bond that keeps him alive. In the shadow of Grymwood, promises are made to be broken—and fate never lets go. Perfect for fans of fated mates, enemies-to-lovers, and Beauty and the Beast retellings where the heroine has everything to lose. The Grymwood Chronicles continues with book two, Shadow of the Grym, where a new curse awakens in the forest’s heart.
A botanist seeking a cure for her dying sister must strike a bargain with a cursed beast who guards the forest, but their fated bond threatens to destroy them both.
Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
