He was hired to hunt me down. I'm the one thing he was never supposed to want.
I ran from a forced marriage with a stolen name and dyed-black hair. To hide, I took a job at the Golden Apple, an elite pleasure house where magic literally erases your worst memories. Simple. Transactional. Safe.
Except nothing about the Golden Apple is safe. The sprawling estate hides in the heart of a corrupt city, and its amber walls trap the dark secrets of everyone who enters.
The house watches. The hunter's control is razor-thin. And every time I let my guard down around the masked patron in the gallery, the heat between us threatens to shatter the illusions keeping us alive.
He's controlled. Patient. Lying about everything.
And someone outside these walls is still hunting me.
I came here to disappear. I'm falling for the hunter sent to drag me back. And when his buried memories finally surface? We might tear this whole kingdom down.
Apples and Gold is a dark and steamy Snow White retelling featuring enemies-to-lovers with a mysterious huntsman, age-gap romance, a pleasure house full of morally gray secrets, a found family of courtesans, and a slow-burn restraint that snaps. First part of a duology.
