To Bleed a Crystal Bloom (Crystal Bloom, #1)

by Sarah A. Parker

“Mates, Orlaith, are a fairy tale. A tragedy painted with the pretty face of a happily ever after, but at its core, it’s still a fucking tragedy. If you believe everything you read, you’ll be disappointed when you finally step into the real world.”

I’m in love with a man who’ll never be mine—who’s unavailable in every way, shape, and form—and I’m certain it’s going to ruin me.

“What I want, what I need, and what is right are three entirely different things.”

It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’ve come from; it’s in our nature to fall in love with the shackle that binds us.”
