The Black Tulip Chronicles

A king desperate to save his kingdom… in search of a woman doing everything she can to never be found…

Vera
I’m a Black Tulip… feared, hated, and hiding. I masquerade behind the magic of other factions while taking all sorts of jobs to survive, and bounty hunting is one of ‘em. I told myself I’d never take another Class A contract, they're the worst of the worst. But high risk means high reward, and suddenly, I need money—a lot of it.

Now I’m lost in the forest after arresting a bounty I’m more attracted to than I should be. Even worse, he’s asking questions about the Black Tulips and trying to convince me he’s not the criminal I know he is. But I’m determined to get my pay. How hard can it be to haul one cuffed criminal across a kingdom, stay alive, and keep my secrets and heart to myself?

I’ll be the last of the High Kings if I don’t find a Black Tulip to restore lucent magic. But after being killed by kings long ago, the Tulips went into hiding… the last person they’ll want to see is me.

I journey to find one of the elusive women, hoping to convince her I’m not a murderer. But my plans go awry when I’m captured by a captivating, wannabe bounty hunter. Time is running out, the stubborn woman won’t believe anything I say, and she’s cuffed me with magic-blocking cuffs, leaving us nearly defenseless. How will I save my kingdom with her in the way?

Bounty Hunter is the first book in a no-spice, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers epic fantasy romance series for fans of Shari Tapscott and Kenley Davidson.

A king risking all for his kingdom. A woman in hiding with the magic he needs. When duty requires betrayal... which side do you choose?

It's not easy being a Black Tulip... masquerading as an Originator so I'm not murdered by the kings. All I want is to escape the secrets I'm buried in--but that requires money. So when my handsome bounty offers me a tempting contract that pays so well it could set me free... I can't resist accepting. 

I simply need to help find a magic flower for the king, survive the savage shadow monsters, and return home without falling further for the man I don't fully trust. I prepared myself for the dangers found on the journey, but nothing prepares me for the moment I find out who my bounty really is...

I search for two things to save my kingdom: a woman marked as a Black Tulip, and the black tulip flower that will bridge our magic. Sounds simple... except I can't find either one, time is running out, and my heart is at risk of being captured by a woman I can never have. 

I contracted Vera to join my team as an Originator to search for the flower, but the secrets and forbidden feelings between us threaten to destroy our already perilous mission. It's not long before we're forced to confront the truth behind the many secrets we carry when a formidable enemy arises that we never saw coming.
