About this audiobook
From the Queen of the Never After retellings comes a modern-day Lancelot & Guinevere filled with serious yearning, hate-to-love you vibes and a happily ever after
Some sins are worth the fall . . .
Lance Calloway fights when they tell him to fight. Bleeds when they tell him to bleed. Breaks when they tell him to break.
Six years in an unsanctioned cage, and the one line he's never crossed? Loyalty to his best friend, no matter the cost.
Then he's asked to protect her.
Genevieve DeGrance didn't ask for any of this.
She came to Rosebrook Falls to be with the mayor's son. But nothing in this town is what it seems.
Especially not the dangerous fighter who watches her every move like a threat.
She hates him.
He can't stand her.
And yet . . .
The more time Lance spends guarding Genevieve, the harder it becomes to remember she belongs to someone else.
And the more she uncovers about Rosebrook Falls, the more she realizes the only honest person in her life is the one man she's forbidden to want.
In a town built on secrets and lies, falling for each other could destroy them both.
But staying away might be the one fight Lance can't win.
