Such a Perfect Family<\/a><\/center>
Love at first sight, a whirlwind Vegas wedding, a fairy-tale romance.<\/p>\n

For forty-three days, Tavish Advani has been the happiest man in the world\u2014until his new life turns to ash, his wealthy in-laws\u2019 house going up in a fiery explosion. His badly injured wife lies in a coma, her family all but annihilated.<\/p>\n

Tavish thought he’d left the sins of his Los Angeles life behind, but it\u2019s not so easy to leave behind an investigation into the deaths of several high-profile women\u2014all of whom he’d professed to love. Tragedy and death follow him no matter where he goes . . . but this time, he knows he\u2019s truly innocent.<\/p>\n

Desperately trying to clear his name as the authorities zero in, Tavish begins his own investigation into the fire\u2014and learns that his wife\u2019s picture-perfect family may have been nothing but a meticulously constructed mirage. The truth is much darker than anything Tavish could\u2019ve imagined.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something in the woods\u2026<\/p>\n

When a vicious beast begins attacking her fellow villagers, Riela reluctantly agrees to enter the forbidden forest and kill the monster as she\u2019s the only mage available\u2014or so she thought.<\/p>\n

She fears her death is at hand until the unexpected arrival of a scarred, strikingly handsome man with gleaming moonlit magic changes her fate\u2014and provides a rare opportunity to learn more about her own fickle power.<\/p>\n

After being rescued and healed from the beast\u2019s poison, Riela awakens in a magical castle complete with a gorgeous library, a strange wolf, and the surly man who saved her life. She soon learns Garrick is both more powerful and far deadlier than a mere mortal mage\u2014but thanks to a century-long curse, his powers are weakening.<\/p>\n

Trapped in his castle and surrounded by the treacherous woods, the spark of attraction between Riela and Garrick slowly ignites into fiery desire. But the more they discover about Riela\u2019s magic, the more suspicious Garrick grows of her identity. As they unravel the secrets and lies connecting Riela\u2019s past to Garrick\u2019s, the tenuous threads of trust between them start to fray.<\/p>\n
