Life has never been easy for a poor, uneducated village girl. But when things in Joslen's life go from bad to progressively worse, it fills her with intense frustration. How does she fight back against an arranged marriage and a lifetime of misery if no one will even listen to her? What's a nice girl supposed to do?

When she has a brush with the handsome but dangerous Scourge King, the conqueror of her land, she realizes something important. Maybe it's time to stop being nice. And the perfect person to show her how to be bad? The Scourge King himself, Vilos Saumien.

But Vilos has a few rules of his own. If he's going to take Joslen as his apprentice, she needs to agree to obey his commands, to learn quickly, and to let him seduce her.

Joslen isn't about to trade away her newfound independence, though. If Vilos wants to play games, she'll play games. She just intends to win. Is their kingdom big enough for two villains?

Critic reviews

Ruby Dixon can do it all: she builds a stunning world, creates compelling, lovable characters, and then hits me with the . . smut I always knew I wanted. I came for the monster sex, but what really drew me in is a beautifully poignant story of found family, in which two outcasts team up to take on a broken system and fall in love in the process. (Ali Hazelwood, on Bull Moon Rising)
When it comes to unique romances, no one does it better than Ruby Dixon.
The perfect blend of sweet, sexy romance and a riveting, high-stakes survival story.
If you're looking for a very fun . . . super hot read . . you'll love this book.
