Bebe Toussaint knows better than to trust a man who walks into her romance bookstore after midnight with claws.
Unfortunately, Valentin Lafitte isn’t there to flirt.
The feared supernatural crime boss of Nouvelle Orléans claims Bebe’s reckless father stole something far more dangerous than a page from an ancient magical ledger powerful enough to control the monster living inside Valentin. Now her father is missing, something inhuman is hunting her, and the safest place in the city might be beside the Beast everyone else fears.
Valentin offers Bebe protection with one outrageous condition.
Marriage.
Becoming Mrs. Lafitte is supposed to be temporary, strategic, and strictly business. But the deeper Bebe is pulled into Nouvelle Orléans’ hidden world of supernatural Houses, blood debts, forbidden magic, and monsters hiding behind perfectly human faces, the harder it becomes to separate the man from the Beast.
Especially when Bebe discovers her own blood carries a power capable of reaching Valentin where no one else can.
Their marriage was never supposed to become real.
Their attraction definitely wasn’t supposed to become dangerous.
But somebody has been waiting for a Heartkeeper to return, and Bebe may have inherited far more than magic. With her family caught inside a generations-old supernatural conspiracy and Valentin slowly losing pieces of himself every time the Beast emerges, love could become the one thing powerful enough to save them.
Or the most devastating price either of them has ever paid.
RECKLESS is Book One of a dark paranormal romance duology featuring a fierce Black heroine, a dangerously possessive supernatural crime boss, forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers tension, forbidden bloodline magic, supernatural family secrets, and a reimagined New Orleans where every kind of power comes with a receipt.
