[US + UK] She fell through the wrong tunnel. He's been waiting for her scent his entire life.

Wren is a vet student with anxiety, student debt, and a talent for narrating her own panic attacks in real time. When a subway power outage sends her stumbling into The Hollow — a hidden underground monster civilization — she crashes directly into Roan.

He's seven feet four inches of scarred minotaur. Head of Hollow security. Hasn't spoken more than ten words to a human in decades. And the moment he catches her, his fated mate bond activates like a fire alarm in his chest.

She can't stop talking. He can barely speak. The chemistry is in everything he doesn't say.

The Hollow's rules are simple: bond with your fated mate or get your memory wiped. Wren chooses the bond — not because of him, but because she refuses to forget the most extraordinary thing she's ever seen. That stings more than Roan will admit.

But someone in The Hollow wants Wren dead before the bond completes. A human bonded to a monster threatens the secrecy they've maintained for centuries. And Roan's response is absolute: touch her and die.

The problem? His protection is starting to feel like a cage. And Wren didn't survive the human world by being anyone's captive.

GORED is a full-length standalone monster romance with a grumpy minotaur hero, a chatty anxious heroine, fated mates, forced proximity, size difference, knotting, breeding, and an HEA. Book 1 in the Monstrous Hearts series.
