Sexy, explicit romantasy with heavy tension and lots of lust.

The vibe

Tem never thought she’d fall in love—until her world cracked open from a simple life on her family chicken farm into something far darker and more intoxicating: lust, power, gold, obligation… and the violence of greed and war. Now she’s caught between two kings—the Serpent King and a newly crowned human king—as conflict brews between basilisks and humans.
After embracing her basilisk half and cresting Leo, Tem thought she’d set him free. It nearly broke her, but it meant Leo could find his first love again—and Tem could build a future with Caspen. Except love doesn’t follow clean endings. Rules, bargains, and loopholes keep Tem bound to Leo… despite her marriage to Caspen.
As the pressure mounts and the “right” choice grows less and less clear, Tem’s desire keeps smoldering—dangerously close to ignition. And if one tinder flickers into flame, it won’t just burn hearts.
It could set the entire kingdom on fire.
