Summary
Penelope has spent her entire life despising demons—and with good reason. She watched them slaughter her family, leaving her a lone fae orphan under the wary protection of witches. Her hatred is a shield, a promise to never forget what she lost.
Colin grew up hating the fae. Ever since their damning accusations branded his kind as murderers, demons have lived under suspicion and scorn. He’s seen firsthand how that lie shattered lives—how it shackled his people.
Two worlds divided by blood and blame.
Two hearts bound by fate.
So what happens when Penelope and Colin—sworn enemies—discover they’re true mates?
Enemies by history. Soulmates by destiny.- Language:

Summary
He could not recall his birth, or how old he was when she came into existence, only that by then his growth was only half finished. What he could recall in exactitude was the curious sight of a squirrel burying the seed she came from. He had seen it rip a fruit from a tree at the other side of the park –a rather exorbitant tree, if you asked him– opposing him. Has seen it stuff a bunch of its seed inside its cheeks and save one for later. He did not know if the furry creature forgot about it or if he meant to leave his new companion so close to him.

Summary
It's not the first time Colin has woken up with a dry mouth, an achy body and a severe case of ‘what the hell did I do last night?’ but it is definitely the first time he has woken up here.
What’s happening…?
What is this place…?
Is that Penelope he can hear…?
His panic and confusion melt away at the sound of her voice and he feels a sense of relief. Penelope is close, she’s here… she’s… very close, actually… very, very close.
Wait… Is she…? Is he…? Could he be…?
Inside her?
