What seems a simple task soon becomes a daunting challenge, as Rose finds herself facing the terrifying monsters that lurk amidst the fae land’s ethereal beauty. When danger strikes, she’s the one who needs saving. Fortunately, aid arrives in the form of a huge, beastly fae. But Faolán’s assistance comes with a condition—marriage, to ensure her safety. Or so he says. A chance encounter with an apple tree leaves the couple stranded for thirty days and nights in a crumbling mansion, with the enigmatic “Granny” as their host. Strange and terrifying dreams haunt the couple, and Rose begins to suspect their meeting was less coincidence and more a carefully planned trap. As the past and present collide, Rose discovers the manor may hold the key to her very survival—and Faolán’s secrets. Full of haunted fae parties, sinister plots, and a house that dreams of its dark and tragic past, These Gentle Wolves is Little Red Riding Hood meets Crimson Peak. It features steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, grumpy/sunshine, and a marriage of convenience to a gruff hero fans of Wolverine and Geralt will fall in love with. ~~~~~ This book is set in the same world as A Kiss of Iron and includes meetings with characters from this story.
