Description

What if the beast you are running from is your prince charming?

When Lady Calliope Turner opens a candle shop in Brighton, all she wants is to escape her wicked stepmother, two vile stepsisters, and a plot to marry her off. She never dreamed she would witness a crime one night on her way to meet her merchant. What’s a woman to do? Run away, of course! And pray she never gets caught. Only, in her haste, she not only draws notice, but she loses a very damning slipper.

Maxen Fury, one of the seven bastard sons of the Duke of Crane, also known as the ruthless beast of Brighton’s underworld, rules his territories with an iron fist. His only goal is simple: to build an empire with his brothers so powerful that they never have to beg, bargain, or bleed again. But when a secret meeting goes awry and his newest tenant proves to be bright, defiant, and far more dangerous than she appears, Maxen finds himself facing the most inconvenient complication of his life.

As suspicion ignites into fascination and danger closes in, Calliope must decide whether she can trust the very man who hunts her . . . and Maxen must confront the one thing he never planned for—a woman who dares to see the man beneath the monster.

Can a man forged in darkness learn to protect the light he wants to claim? Or will his world devour her first?

This book fizzled from the first page the suspense the attraction between Maxen and Calliope was very hot the brothers are all sexy beasts and I can't wait for their stories to follow.
I also noted the Cinderalla reference will there be more fairytale references on the stories to follow I hope so.
I loved this book and couldn't put it down

Loved this story involving the Fury brothers.
Maxen runs his own business and empire in Brighton.
Calliope is on the run from her horrible stepmother and stepsisters for the physical and emotional abuse over the years since her father’s death.
She changes her last name and rents a storefront selling candles like her mother taught her to make.
She unwittingly becomes involved in Fury business putting her own life at risk.
But Maxen is compelling and she is drawn to him.
Danger and action thread throughout their days.
Maxen is obsessed by her, so much in love causing his brothers to tease him mercilessly.
But he wants to protect her and she wants to get closer to him despite the danger.
Hard to put down because the story keeps you fascinated.
The Fury brothers all have stories needing to be told.
