Sphinx's Enigma

A Monster Age Gap, Fated Mates, Why Choose Romance

She came for the secrets of the ruin, but the ruin’s guardian decided to keep her as his own.

Linguist Amara Quill is on the verge of a breakthrough in a forgotten tomb when she's discovered by its warden, Khevron. A magnificent and terrifying sphinx, he disables her connection to the world and claims her as his prize, dragging her into the darkness of his subterranean library.
His possession is absolute. His silken voice commands her body in acts of submission that blur the line between terror and arousal. He calls it protection, a necessary bond to shield her from a greater threat. But to Amara, it is a gilded cage where her body is no longer her own.
When their enemies attack, Amara must fight alongside the beast who claimed her. To survive, she must accept his permanent mark and become his queen, sealing their bond with the ultimate act of physical possession: the inescapable lock of his knot.
