Summary

THE RIFT PAINTER Dreambound Mates • Book 1 A Hartley Realms Novel 🔥This book is also available on Kindle. Macey Harper never meant to tear open a door between worlds—her gift was supposed to stay locked in dreams and on canvas. But the night her painted fantasy steps out of her artwork, everything she thought she knew shatters. Hazel isn’t human. He isn’t safe. And he isn’t letting her go. The dark-haired King of Elvendore claims she is his fated mate—marked by him long before she ever touched a brush. When he drags her into his realm, chaos follows: rift creatures pour into Elvendore, magic fractures, and the high court demands answers. To survive, Hazel poses Macey as his personal human slave. To protect her. To keep her close. And because his desire for her borders on dangerous. The bond between them burns hot, relentless, impossible to resist. Hazel will do anything to claim her fully—body, soul, and throne. But Macey’s power threatens to spiral beyond control, and blocking it might sever the one thing Hazel refuses to lose. Her. Caught between a starving magic, a possessive king, and a realm on the brink of collapse, Macey must decide: Fight her fate— or surrender to the mate who would burn the world for her.
