Her Majesty has deemed your Season a failure. With no further prospects at this time, you are hereby ordered to attend The Monsters Ball.
Imogene Dalloway’s Season on the Marriage Mart has been a disaster. However, unlike other young ladies of her station, she prefers the freedom of spinsterhood. Her plans change when she discovers that the bulk of her parent’s inheritance will go to her father’s first son, leaving Imogene and her younger brother without any income or support. With little time to secure her future inheritance, she finds her tattered invitation to the Monster’s Ball.
Much to his dismay, Viridian, the Viscount of Casselon needs a wife. His first wife’s family is contesting his rights to his lands–and his son!–and if he cannot find a suitable mate soon, he will be left with nothing. It is convenience-at-first-sight when he encounters a human female at the Monster’s Ball who abhors the thought of marriage as much as he does.
Together they sign a contract with lofty rules in order to keep their respective families intact. The only thing they don’t account for is falling in love.
Now they each must convince the other that there may need to be some amendments to their agreement…
Taming the Viscount Viper is a spicy regency monster romance with ball gowns, bridal hunts, and breeding. This story is part of The Monsters Ball collection and links to the Obsidian Rift Universe.
