Overview

"Sex and magic, bondage and blood... When the blood of pagan sacrifice ran thick beneath the mud and mulch."

This is the original UNCUT version of 2011's kinkiest bestselling romance, which spawned the classic BDSM quote: "...it had felt like he'd been dragged through the nine circles of hell—by his testicles."

"When ex-soldier Brien returns to his ancestral home in the enchanted Greenwood, his only plan is to retrieve his family's valuables and then get the hell out of there. But that plan is forestalled when he discovers his fortune is gone—and a mysterious young man, Scarlet, trying to burn the mansion down. Desperate to recover his lost wealth, Brien takes Scarlet captive and demands he guide Brien through the forest to locate it.

Deep in the Greenwood, Scarlet offers his body up for pain, punishment, and pleasure—anything to give Brien what he wants so he'll leave. The last person Scarlet needs around is an enemy of the good forest spirits he swears by, who'll reject him, just like everyone else in his life has. Worse, Brien's presence is stirring up evil spirits that hunger for Scarlet's blood. Hunted and haunted by the Greenwood and all that dwells in it, Brien and Scarlet must learn to rely on each other, and trust in a magical path that both have long forsaken."
