The Cracked King

He’s a ruthless Fae King, and he’s been trapped inside a wooden doll for decades…

On my eighteenth birthday, my uncle gives me a Nutcracker doll.
It sits on the mantle of my fireplace for eleven months–unmoving and stoic.
Until Christmas Eve–when the Cracked King comes to life.
As it turns out, he’s been waiting a very long time for me.
Once a Fae King, he was banished from his realm, and cursed to live out the rest of his immortal days as a doll.
There is one clause to his curse: he is free to walk our realm for one night only.
And I have, unfortunately, captured his interest.
As he stands before me, his chiseled jaw rolling with fury, his dark eyes wild and violent, I realize he plans to unleash all of that vengeance and wrath… on me.

The Cracked King is a dark, steamy retelling of The Nutcracker with a virgin heroine and a possessive, morally black hero. It is a standalone. Please read the trigger warnings before proceeding.
