TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING
Tall, beautiful, the kind of handsome that makes a room rearrange itself, the easy charm, the way he holds himself like he’s doing the world a favour by existing.

“No,” he says. “No, nothing — he wasn’t — that’s not — the man who gave it to me wasn’t handsome, miss. Quite the opposite. He was—” the man gropes for the word, and lands on it with an apologetic wince, “—he was hideous. Honestly. Burned, or scarred badly, all down one side of his face, I couldn’t stop looking. I felt terrible about it. Not a handsome man at all. I’m sorry, I don’t — is that helpful? I don’t know what’s happening.”
