Auralia thought her biggest mistake was falling in love with the wrong fae twelve years ago. Until she fell in love with an Unseelie she can never be with.
Anyone who witnesses the glares and harsh words between Auralia and Donovan believe they hate each other. But under all that annoyance is a passion they can’t quench.
There's no future for them, though. Out of deceit, she’s bonded to the worst fae in the realm. And when her estranged husband tells her it’s time to return to him, she’s forced to say goodbye to her dream life in the Unseelie Royal Court and to Donovan. At least they’ll never discover her unforgivable secret.
However, Donovan has a different idea of how their parting is going to go—or how it will never go, because he’s not giving up his broody Unseelie. Not ever. Even if he has to steal her.

Stealing the Bogeyman's Bride is a dark and very spicy short story inspired from fae folklore and was first published as a draft on Kindle Vella. Some tropes include unrequited love, grumpy (her)/sunshine (him), rivals to lovers, damsel in distress, good guy gone bad for her, fairy heat, and no one touches her but me.
