This Sleeping Beauty woke up...
In a nightmare.

From Wall Street Journal bestsellers L.J. Shen and Parker S. Huntington comes a twisted second-chance romance between a prince haunted by a dark secret and his reluctant Sleeping Beauty.

Oliver
I don't usually trap women with amnesia into marriage.
But I guess there's a first time for everything.
When the woman of my dreams falls into my lap, I can't help but wonder what else she can do in that position.
She's here. In my house. At my mercy.
And she thinks we've been lovers the entire decade we spent apart.
Briar and I have always been unfinished business.
Now it's time to seal the deal.

Briar
I'm marrying a beautiful monster.
A crooked fraud. America's wealthiest bachelor.
He claims we're in love, yet all I taste in our kisses is hate and lust.
I don't remember why or how.
But I do remember he's the enemy.
Now, I'm stuck inside a nightmare.
And Oliver will do anything to keep me in the dark.

Read full series description

At the heart of this saga is a compelling narrative that blends high stakes with raw emotion. Every moment feels like it's charged with electricity—whether it's the unexpected collision of two strong-willed characters or the simmering tension between passion and revenge. From the very first page, you’re thrust into a world where every relationship is marked by secrecy, every glance holds unspoken promises, and every decision has consequences that ripple far beyond the surface.

The protagonists in Dark Prince Road are far from perfect—they're haunted by their pasts, bound by their desires, and torn between loyalty and the lure of something deeper. Their chemistry is undeniable, but it’s their emotional vulnerability that makes their connection all the more captivating. They’re forced to navigate the murky waters of power, wealth, and manipulation, making choices that will either bind them together forever or tear them apart in spectacular fashion.

This series doesn’t shy away from difficult themes. Love is often messy and complicated, and the characters' journeys through pain, healing, and redemption are written with a sensitivity that feels real and earned. Whether it's the forbidden attraction that refuses to fade or the explosive tension that builds toward a powerful climax, every twist in Dark Prince Road leaves you craving more.

With its dark, atmospheric storytelling and intricate character arcs, the series weaves a rich tapestry of romance and suspense, drawing readers into a world where every secret threatens to unravel everything—and where the only thing more dangerous than the lies is the truth.
