Mated To The Dead Prince

In a world where words carry weight, a single moment changes everything. 'But this feels real,' she whispered. Curiosity got the best of her as she went around the coffin. Luckily, it was not locked. She took a deep breath before pulling it open. 'Jesus Christ!' The prince inside the coffin opens his eyes. He is supposed to be dead -- the funeral was yesterday, the mourning was genuine, and the kingdom has already moved on. But the mate bond that draws her to this coffin does not lie. The dead prince is not dead. He is something else -- a being that exists between life and death, cursed to remain in a state of perpetual dormancy unless someone with the right bloodline opens his coffin. The woman who was drawn to his funeral by an inexplicable force has just become the catalyst for his awakening. As the prince who should be dead reintegrates into a kingdom that has already replaced him, the mate bond between him and the woman who woke him becomes the most controversial union in the realm. The court that mourned him is now terrified of him. The family that buried him wants him re-buried. And the woman who opened his coffin discovers that being mated to the dead prince means navigating a world that was not prepared for his return.
