Mayhem and the Mortal Hardcover – Dark Fantasy Enemies-to-Lovers Romance

Her only chance lies with Thane Valkor—a sorcerer, assassin, and walking red flag. His reputation alone is enough to clear a room, and his magic is as lethal as his secrets. He offers to help, but Zaira knows better than to trust a man like him… even if she has no other choice.

Blending romance, danger, and suspense, this standalone fantasy delivers a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers dynamic with unforgettable tension. This hardcover edition also features a deluxe limited first print, making it a must-have collectible for fantasy and romance readers alike.
