Bodyguard romantasy meets courtesan turned spy.
Melisa needs a new life for herself and her family. And she finds just that in a troll named Ra'Sa. He's tall, strong, serious, and unattached. And yet, he doesn't fall for her attempts to seduce him. Frustrated, she gives up and crafts a new plan: make herself indispensable. So far, Ra'Sa is unimpressed with the weak, helpless creatures he escorts across the land. The one with long, silky black hair and a red gown is intriguing, but his crystal doesn't sing, meaning she's not his mate. Thus, it doesn't matter that she's clever. And beautiful. And strangely hard to stop watching. However… he is furious when she surprises everyone and offers to return to the giant capital, where she will use her position as a comfort woman to glean information for the trolls. So he demands to go with her—to watch over and defend her in a land of cruel men. Her secrets unravel, revealing her true nature. He finds it... breathtaking. Despite the forbidden nature of their relationship, feelings stir within his stony heart. Will they succeed their mission or let their desire burn them to ashes? To Defend a Bride is book three in the Entangled with the Enduar series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone, but it is recommended to be listened to after To Steal a Bride and To Ignite a Flame for the best experience. It is a dark monster romantasy featuring a cunning heroine and a brooding hero. This adult fantasy romance is perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Danielle L. Jensen. For mature listeners.
