The Dark Lord's Mate

ShortMax

Three years ago, Lena was humiliated and abandoned by her bar-manager fiancé for another woman. She vanished—only to return to Duskhollow as the mysterious Lady Wren, mate to the legendary Lord Caius, the feared Child of the Dark. When her ex and his cruel new lover mock the "pathetic waitress" sent to serve them, they have no idea she is the very mistress of the bar they beg to please. Now, she holds all the power. But Caius has been watching her far longer than she knows… and his devotion is deadly. Revenge has never been this satisfying—or this dangerous.
