Loki

She walks in on me banging another woman for sport.

Her blue eyes burn like twin suns at daybreak when they train on me.

One sniff in her direction, and I know she’s mine.

Ice to my pyre.

Scenting its fated mate, my wolf beast awakens for the first time and roars with hellfire.

Heat sears through my veins. I’ve never been so aroused by any other female.

But Tessa Morrigan can’t be my queen.

She came too late.

I’ve started the Underworld Bride Trials. All the contestants must fight to the death until the last one stands by my side to claim the crown.

Morrigan

Loki, the hot new boss of Hell, is hosting a bachelorette contest. He thinks it’s funny to have a troop of women fighting to the death over him.

But he doesn’t expect to attract the most lethal assassin and a rejected queen to his selection game. I didn’t come to ride the playboy king’s sexy body or be Queen of the Underworld. I promised Lucifer his son’s head on a gold platter.

I’ve been burned before and vowed never to let a handsome, powerful man touch me again. Yet when Loki and I lay eyes upon each other, sizzling chemistry scorches us. Under his ruthless bad boy exterior hides another man, one that ignites flames inside my icy heart.

Playboy King is the first of the Underworld Bride Trials series, set after the Great Merge. It’s not necessary to listen to the Half-Blood Academy to enjoy this sinfully steamy enemies-to-lovers romance starring a cruel yet fun demon king and a bada-- heroine.
