Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)

by Stephanie Hudson
I tried to run. I tried to hide. But look where it got me: captured and held firmly in the grasp of my HellBeast King.
One still intent on completing the claim he feels he has on me. Which I knew meant only one thing: making me his—in every single way. By claiming my heart, then my blood, and now the very last thing left of me to give…
He wants my body.
But after having my heart trampled on, and after I had been willing to hand it over freely...
Will I now finally accept what he calls my fate?
Will I let go of my fears of having my heart broken again?
Or will I forever now have to be... The HellBeast’s Prisoner?

The same high octane ride that drew you in the first time is still keeping you on the edge of your seat for another ride with the same action and characters you know and love.

Stephanie Hudson has written another exciting book in this hard to put down, sexy and intriguing series! While we learn more about the Hellbeast's world we also journey further I not the mysterious ties that Ella has to this world herself! Will she embrace her role journey in Jared's world or will her stubborn denial keep coming between her and Jared's Happily Ever After? Can't wait for Stephanie's next Hellbeast book!! )
