<p><b><i>Daphne never meant to want him -</i></b><br /><b><i>the monster who could destroy her . . .</i></b><br /><b><i>and the only one who never would.</i></b><br /><b><i>Now they're both caught between</i></b><br /><b><i>Their duties and their love.</i></b><br /><br />Daphne Verus never planned to compete for the prince.<br /><br />Now she's expected to trade the safety of her village for the caves beneath the mountain and be trained by Kronos Seneca - a basilisk who could overpower her, bite her, turn her to stone . . . but who also sees her better than anyone ever has and wants her despite himself.<br /><br />The only rule between them is the one she sets: no sex.<br /><br />She's spent her whole life giving herself to men who didn't deserve it. Kronos is a monster by nature. But he honors her word when no one else ever has, and that is the most dangerous thing about him.<br /><br />Because if Daphne lets herself feel, she might discover she's capable of love after all.<br /><br />And if Kronos claims her, he risks destroying everything - including his own chance at the crown.<br /><br /><b></b></p><b>Praise for KISS OF THE BASILISK, Book 1 of the Split Or Swallow series</b><b><br />'So you're thinking, 'A basilisk?
