Behind every good man...is the love of an even better woman. Those were
just pretty words before I met Claire Montgomery. Before my fairy queen
burst into my life, I didn't recognize the bastard in my morning
mirror--but her love has given me the strength to face the imposter,
even embrace him. With Claire at my side, I'm the king I always wanted
to be, the Killian Stone I always dreamed of becoming.
Which means for once, I want the mask guarding my secret to stay right
where it is.
If you want the grown-up fairy tale... learn to love the dark side.
Profound sentiment. Wish I could get on board with it but the prince in
pinstripes has other ideas. Life has been a dream since Killian burst
into the ball offering the perfect fit--his heart and mine.
But the treasures he bestows have become his armor, hiding the man I
yearn to know.
I refuse to open his little velvet box until he opens himself, letting
me see even the dark hallways of his soul...
Fate has always bowed to my bidding.
I should have known it was just picking it's time to exact the best
revenge, to reveal the secrets that will destroy everything. Without my
disguise, am I still the man Claire fell in love with...or another
penniless prince vying for an unattainable dream?
Mistress of his ruin?
He always told me to be careful what I wish for. By demanding his truth,
have I not only demolished the dream we had...but the man I've loved
more than any other?
