Why Read This?

An absolutely unhinged fae prince has been sending his human fated mate anonymous letters and gifts since he was 13. When he finally crosses the barrier to claim her, the obsessive devotion is off the charts. Dark, spicy, possessive, but balanced with genuine humor and a surprisingly sweet emotional core.

Synopsis

"I don't need a line to know what's considered good or bad, but if I did, there isn't a line I wouldn't cross for you." When Rennick was thirteen, the gods bestowed upon him the name of his fated mate--a human girl. As the sole heir to the Mountain Kingdom, magic bound him to his kingdom until he ascended the throne on his twenty-fifth birthday, and as a human, she couldn't cross the magical barrier separating the humans from the fae. Heartsore and consumed with thoughts of her, he did the only thing he could and sent her anonymous letters and gifts… Until he crossed the barrier into her kingdom to claim her as his own. Six months after Amelia's thirteenth birthday, she received a strange letter from a fae boy claiming her as his mate. Humans weren't taught much about the fae, and one look at the horrifying doll meant to be her belated birthday gift solidified her suspicions that someone was playing a cruel joke. Except the letters and odd gifts kept coming. Against her better judgment, Amelia fell in love with her mysterious admirer throughout the years, certain they would never meet. But on her twenty-fifth birthday, her walk to work was interrupted by two familiar words she'd read a million times. "Hello, love." Viciously Yours is a new adult fantasy romance long novella/short novel of about 60k words/250 pages. It is fast-paced and focuses solely on the relationship between the two main characters. There is no overarching background plot. Example: Rebels attack the kingdoms, but there is no story as to why because it just is. The couple does have minor obstacles, but there is no miscommunication trope, no third act breakup, and no cheating. PLEASE NOTE: The male main character does a few morally black things to those he deems a threat to his relationship. There are no shades of grey. CONTENT WARNINGS: Orphaned heroine, gore, unethical kills and decisions by main characters, death of a parent, mature language, explicit sexual situations, graphic violence and death
