  He’s not the Easter Bunny. When Nora brings a fluffy white rabbit into her kindergarten classroom, she expects squeals, giggles, and maybe a science lesson about spring. What she doesn’t expect is for the rabbit to bite her. Or to shift into a six-foot-five, battle-wounded man with the face of a fallen god. What she  really  doesn’t expect… …is for him to be naked. He claims he’s a prince. He claims he’s being hunted. He claims there’s an enchanted sword powerful enough to save his kingdom — and he needs her help to find it. She thinks he’s insane. He knows she’s his. Bonded. Fated. Mates. Sorren is not from her world. He’s older. Wilder. Royal. And on the run. This Easter, the hunt begins. Not for eggs. For a throne. For survival. For  her . Because once a prince claims his mate… He doesn’t let her go. My Review Nora didn't plan to have a rabbit as a pet but the shop owner kind of pushed the rabbit upon her. You can imagine her surprise when one moment she is pett...
