To Love a Monster (The Chosen and the Cursed)

Princess Aurora of Amador dreams of battlefields and freedom rather than arranged marriages. When a betrothal threatens to end her aspirations, she escapes—only to be rescued by a creature her kingdom has long considered its greatest enemy. As forbidden powers awaken within her, Aurora uncovers dangerous secrets about her father, the noble king who now serves her stepmother Dorova, a fae whose beauty conceals a hunger for power and control. Dark magic tightens its grip on the throne, and Aurora realizes the true conflict lies not beyond the castle walls, but within them. In this dangerous situation, trust becomes Aurora's most valuable tool and love her most perilous decision. The boundary between enemy and protector, monster and man, proves far thinner than she imagined. The story follows Aurora's fight to reclaim her freedom and heart amid forbidden love and ancient magic.
