Why Read This?

A wildly inventive Sleeping Beauty retelling where Aurora is a cursed succubus and her dragon guardian Talon is the one man she can never have. The forbidden romance aches with centuries of longing, the spice is the hottest in the series with MF/FF/MMF configurations, and the emotional core never gets lost in the heat. Holly Roberds at her best.

Synopsis

He can’t touch anyone without burning them. I’ll sleep with anyone just to survive. Born a princess. Cursed to be a succubus. My hunger is fatal—and no one survives a night in my bed. Now I’m in a city pulsing with magic, sex, and freedom, trying to rewrite my story. But Talon followed me. My guardian. My protector. My dragon. He’s tall, dark, and deadly—black scales veined with fire. He never touches me. But gods, he wants to. He’d burn the world down for me. For years, he’s fed me lovers… then cleaned up the bodies left in my wake. He’s the only man I’ve ever loved—and the one I can never touch. His dragon fire would sear my skin. My hunger would devour him whole. And we’ve never let ourselves want what we can’t survive. Until now. I’m starving, and Talon’s the only one who can help me feed without killing—but every time he does, we cross a line that might destroy us both. And the woman who cursed me in my crib is back to finish what she started. This time, she’ll burn through Talon—and the new life I’ve built—to do it. This spicy Sleeping Beauty retelling is an interconnected standalone in the Lost Girls series with morally gray dragons, illicit feedings on strangers, and the kind of longing that hurts in all the right places.
