Synopsis "Kiss of the Basilisk: The Bestselling, Spicy, Not-Safe-For-Work Romantasy That's Taken Tiktok by Storm (Split or Swallow)"

THIS BOOK IS NOT SAFE TO READ AT WORK.

And honestly, the less you know about it before reading . . . the better!

Twenty year old Temperance Verus has never been kissed. But that’s what the basilisk is for.

Along with thirteen other contestants, Tem must train with a basilisk to learn the power of seduction and win the prince’s hand in marriage. When Tem is matched with Caspen, the Serpent King, she realizes she might actually stand a chance.

But with tensions rising between the basilisks and the humans, Tem is torn in two directions. As her bond with Caspen deepens, so does her connection with the prince. And when she uncovers a terrible secret about the royal family, Tem finds herself caught between two worlds . . . neither of which she can survive without.

Read this book if you like any of the following: Golden fangs; inappropriate use of a claw; hot men with daddy issues; hot women with daddy issues; witty banter; long, dextrous fingers

Guaranteed to make you blush (and then some), Kiss of the Basilisk is like if fanfic Draco Malfoy went on the Bachelor and had to compete with a snake. Sounds fun, doesn’t it? That’s because it is!!
