THE HARPY AND THE DRAGON: HEARTS OF BLACKMERE BOOK 4
When feisty chambermaid Annora, is imprisoned in a dungeon for striking her noble lord and master, she wastes no time in formulating a plan to escape. Unfortunately, that plan involves bringing her odious, yet undeniably handsome fellow prisoner, Henry Percille, along with her. Before long, desire overcomes irritation and the cracks in Henry’s armor begin to expose the man he truly is. He may be a monster, but it would take nothing less to tempt her.
Henry Percille, the disgraced champion once known as the Dragon, sat in a dungeon for ten years, haunted by his crimes. But when a foul-tempered chambermaid is thrown into the opposite cell, he finds not only freedom, but also his match. Annora is beautiful, grumpy, and vicious, yet he can’t seem to convince himself to be rid of her no matter how hard he tries. When danger closes in, Henry becomes all that stands between her and the nobleman who wants them both dead. He must choose between vengeance or his glorious harpy- the woman he burns for.
Content guidance (potential spoilers): the main characters of this story are definitely on the darker grey end of the morality scale, and the book includes potentially triggering scenes of violence, blood, death, and one instance of the heroine being whipped with a riding crop. There are scenes with characters eating food, drinking alcohol, and using bad language. For a portion of the story, the hero intends to ride out to meet his death and has thoughts of the world being better off without him. However, he does not go through with the plan.
There are multiple explicit scenes of vaginal, oral, and anal sex (in all instances of anal sex, the hero is enthusiastically receiving and the heroine is eagerly giving.)
This story ends with a child-free and marriage-free happily ever after.
