A Dark Medieval Fantasy Romance

Carnal Hex

Rhiannon Rosehearth

The forest is dying. The knight trained to fear women like her, but desire may be the only magic powerful enough to save their land.

Selene has spent her life protecting the people and wild places of her home with magic. Sir Ronan has just been given those same lands and arrives carrying a sword, a holy oath, and every reason to believe a sorceress is something to fear. Unfortunately for them both, the curse seems to have other ideas.

Would you trust the man who was taught to call your magic evil? Would you let him touch you if every delicious shiver brought dead earth back to life?

A taste of Carnal Hex

A witch protecting her home. A knight taught to fear her. A curse that yields to pleasure.

Darkness is bleeding through Selene’s forest. Flowers wither. Trees blacken. Her magic weakens. As the wise woman and sorceress of the land, she refuses to abandon the people who have trusted generations of her coven to keep them safe.

Then Sir Ronan arrives. Newly knighted, newly granted the very land Selene calls home, and thoroughly convinced that witchcraft belongs among the evils a righteous man should destroy. Their first meeting ends with steel, magic, insults and both of them trapped by the cursed forest.

But anger makes the corruption stronger. Can they put their animosity aside and let the flames of anger turn into something hotter? Saving the forest may demand that they surrender to exactly what each of them has been taught to resist.

“Never have I wanted so badly to be one. My every waking thought is bent on it, and nothing but your body shall satiate this aching need. If this is love, it is maddening, and I would never seek the cure.” — Ronan, Carnal Hex

Are You Craving?

Blades. Thorns. Dangerous devotion. Magic that takes you by the hand... or the throat.

Enemies to Lovers

It was like meteors crashing together. My body erupted in pleasurable tingles all over the thrill of seducing such a foe and ally.

Morally Grey MMC

“Aye... But since meeting you I realise that for too long I was fighting for those who I swore to keep checked.”

Forbidden Desire

No matter how handsome this knight was, Sir Ronan was clearly a devout witch-slayer. He was dangerous to befriend and even more dangerous to have as steward of the land.

A Curse Cleansed by Pleasure

“Did... did our lovemaking do this?” he asked. I held him tenderly. “We may have a solution to the curse...”

Rosehearth Promises

Where desire is sacred & sex is magic.

Wanting Him Is the Dangerous Part

Not only was I intoxicated with this act of rebelliousness, but it became a compulsion.

Her Magic is Her

My body felt as if it had bloomed into a star. A magical wave rippled out from us...

Fighting a Deadly Curse, Succumbing to the Magic

The golden flare happening when we made pleasant contact with one another twisted my gut into knots. I knew the Lovers card had jumped out of the deck...

He Would Never Tame Her

I relinquish my king and lord at your feet. I seek only to be your protector. Your lover. Your friend.
