Taken by a Gorgon (Dead City Novelettes)

Princess Calla of Daosbor has spent thirty years being the disappointment of the royal court. While her mother demands she master the rigid art of commanding spirits, Calla finds her joy in the forbidden, fluid grace of dancing with them. Unmarried and perpetually underestimated, she is desperate for a life that feels like her own rather than a scripted performance. Everything changes when she encounters a legendary Gorgon—a creature whispered about in nursery rhymes but never seen in the halls of the palace. Instead of the monstrous terror she was warned against, Calla discovers a soul who understands the weight of being misunderstood. What begins as a dangerous abduction quickly unravels into a simmering, spicy connection that defies the expectations of a kingdom. Set against the backdrop of a glittering Regency-inspired world, this novelette weaves together the tension of a royal romance with the thrill of the supernatural. It is a sweet yet undeniably steamy escape for readers who crave stories about finding love in the most unexpected places. If you have ever felt like a misfit waiting for someone to finally see your true potential, Calla’s story will capture your heart. Prepare to be enchanted by a tale where the monster is the only one who truly listens.
