The Demon by Jenika Snow

I ran from one monster, only to stumble into the clutches of another.
Fleeing a brutal father and a forced marriage, I escaped deep into the forest, hoping to disappear.
Bleeding, exhausted, and desperate, I hid in a cave—but I quickly realized I wasn’t alone.
Something watched me from the darkness.
He was massive, horned… a creature pulled from nightmares.
And the moment his glowing eyes locked onto me, I knew one thing without a doubt. I was his.
Now, I was trapped in his lair, claimed by a beast who refused to let me go.
I thought I was running toward freedom.
But I only ran straight into his arms.
And I was even more terrified, because… I didn’t want to leave.
