LEAPING INTO LOVE

Magic is everywhere. Most humans aren’t aware of it, don’t see it unless fate pulls some magical strings—as it did with Tiana, the mate I’ve longed for my entire life.

It’s been years since I sent out my mating call. So long, I’d given up hope it would ever be answered. Then Tiana applied for a job posting as live-in groundskeeper of my estate. A job I never posted, for a position that doesn’t exist. Fate and magic at work in a most interesting way.

Those forces guide her to my home in Rita’s Hollow, a magically hidden town full of lonely monsters. Her arrival triggers magic that wraps around us, glamouring us so Tiana can’t see what we truly look like, what we truly are.

I hate deceiving my mate, especially as our connection grows deeper, but the old magic prevents me from telling her what I truly am. Only Tiana’s love for me can break the spell. But when the glamour is gone, will the sight of my true frog-man self send my mate leaping away forever?

A cozy and steamy, fated mates, monster romance with a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
