Bella remained still, her plum eyes accompanying the terrifying yet sensual movement of the stranger's hands with a stoic expression. "Most definitely." "In that case, I shall make it my all purpose to perish with my eyes closed." ••• - ••• Bella, the daughter of a simple merchant, is plunged into the turmoil that is aristocratic life when the deadly Prince Thaddeus takes an interest in her. The prince is known to have his lovers executed, most rarely for them to last more then an entire night in his company. In defiance, lady Bella loves life and has no intention of perishing just yet. Whilst doing everything in her wits to distract the prince from slicing her throat, Bella accidentally unleashes an emotion the entire kingdom thought the prince incapable of feeling. ••• - ••• [SPICY HISTORICAL FICTION ROMANCE] This is not a werewolf story but it does contain some fragments inspired by them.
