Bryce Carter rules his college campus with a lacrosse stick and a smirk. A blond, muscled alpha who's claimed the throne once held by Sawyer Grayson-now a whispered legend of ruin. When a shadowy carnival returns, Bryce storms the tent of Madame Zorina, a witch with eyes like daggers, mocking her mystic arts with crude bravado. His mistake sparks her wrath, and a curse remakes him: his chiseled frame softens, his growl lifts to a sultry lilt, and his swagger twists into curves that draw leers instead of awe. As teammates turn cruel, snapping pics of his new body, and rivals revel in his fall, Bryce's empire crumbles. Desperate, he allies with Sawyer-herself transformed and bitter-and sharp-tongued Lila, chasing whispers of Zorina's lair. Every step in his new skin ignites shameful heat, a body betraying him with every sway. Will Bryce defy the witch's spell or surrender to the allure of his own undoing? Perfect for fans of dark erotica and gender-bending fantasy, Curse of the Rival delivers a wickedly sensual tale of pride's price and transformation's torment.
