Lord of legends - Susan Krinard

Forbidden Desire.

Powerful and seductive, shapeshifter Arion could possess any female he desired - until now. Cursed to live as a man, Arion's only hope for freedom is the enchanting Lady Mariah Donnington's innocence. Abandoned on her wedding night, frightened of her hidden, otherworldly heritage, Mariah is instinctively drawn to the mysterious stranger she discovers imprisoned on her husband's estate.

But as the secret of Arion's magical identity unfolds, their friendship burns into a passion that cannot, must not, be consummated. For to do so would destroy them both.
