Today’s book: My Dark Romeo by
LJ Shen and Parker S Huntington.
I always assumed my life was a romance novel. That between my pages nestled a happily ever after. It never occurred to me that I miscategorized my genre. That it could be a horror story. A blood-chilling thriller.
Then Romeo Costa typhooned into my world, ripping off my rose-colored glasses.
He taught me darkness.
He taught me strength.
Most importantly, he delivered the cruelest lesson of all–there’s beauty in every beast. Thorns in every rose. And a love story can blossom — even from the carcass of hate.
Blurb:
It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball.
A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger.
But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love.
He’s fueled by revenge.
To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage.
His rival’s betrothed.
To me, he is a man deserving of poison.
A dark prince I refuse to marry.
He thinks I’ll accept my fate.
Well, I plan to rewrite it.
And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die.
But Romeo? He perishes.
My Dark Romeo is a standalone reluctant arranged marriage romance between a cruel billionaire heir and a feisty heiress unafraid to fight back. It is set in the decadent Dark Prince Road world.
