The Shadows are Darkest by M R Pritchard

A bite in the dark.

A curse awakened.

And now, the only way out is through him.

Layla was just searching for a book until something bit her in the basement of the Library. Since that night, her fingertips have darkened with strange veins of shadow. For her safety, she's sent to a remote ranch in Montana where the skies are wide, the secrets run deep, and her new housemate is a dangerously powerful princeling with a short fuse.

He's a cursed prince.

She's the girl unraveling his control.

Thrush is cursed with ancient magic that burns just beneath his skin. With every flare of temper, every spark of emotion, he risks unleashing something he can't contain. He's training to control it. To survive it. But then Layla arrives and she's too human, too curious, and far too tempting.

A bite runs deep.

A soul is split.

And now, she's caught between realms where nothing is safe, including her heart.

The Shadows are Darkest is a dark fantasy romance perfect for fans of cursed monsters, forbidden attraction, slow burning tension, and the kind of gothic longing that leaves you breathless.
