Getting eaten by a wolf wasn't exactly what Red had in mind when he finally escaped the palace walls.

Abandoned as a babe and raised in The Queen's court, Red has always been an outsider, with his mismatched eyes and sharp tongue keeping most at arm's length. When he ventures towards the Dark Forest on an important quest to save his kingdom from the grips of a cruel famine, the last thing he needs is a massive grey wolf stalking him. A wolf who makes it clear that Red looks like a very tasty snack.

Wilhelm 'Wim' Hoffmann is dangerous, infuriating, and absolutely not to be trusted-no matter how his deep voice makes Red's traitorous heart stutter. If only Wim wasn't devastatingly handsome, if only he didn't cook up such sumptuous meals and use his superior body heat to keep Red warm at night... Then Red might remember that wolves aren't supposed to be trusted, especially ones with secrets as dark as the forest itself.

But Red knows better than to fall for a wild creature's charms... Right?

Surviving these treacherous woods-where slave traders and bandits lurk around every corner-will require more than just an uneasy alliance. As their bond deepens with each shared danger, Red begins to wonder if being devoured by a big bad wolf might not be so bad after all...

This GriMM Tales retelling features one red-cloaked menace and the wolf that sees through his armour, touch him and get eaten alive, a smidge of an age gap, a dash of primal play, a wolf who wants strokes, two bedrolls but let's share one for warmth & a HEA.

Each book set in the GriMM fairytale world can be read as a standalone and contains its own Happily Ever After story. Though you'll definitely want to read each one, as the tales are connected to each other in multiple magical ways.
