He’s got hooves, horns, and a bad attitude. She’s got a camera and a knack for trouble. What could possibly go wrong? Sylvie has always been a hopeless optimist, but even she didn’t expect her latest adventure photographing the mysterious Elderwood Forest would end with her being rescued—albeit reluctantly—by a grumpy, sharp-tongued satyr. Big, brooding, and undeniably magnetic, Thorn is as prickly as the plant for which he’s named. Thorn has spent years guarding his beloved forest from the humans he despises. When a pretty, bubbly human stumbles into his world he's determined to send her packing, but Sylvie’s knack for attracting trouble is rivaled only by her ability to melt the walls around his heart. When Sylvie and Thorn are forced to team up to protect the forest, the chemistry between them is impossible to deny. But as danger looms closer, Thorn must decide if he will push Sylvie away to protect her—or risk it all for the chance of love. Because even in the depths of the Elderwood Forest, love can be wild, exhilarating, and sweeter than a satyr with an unexpected taste for stolen kisses. This sweet and steamy monster romance is intended for mature readers. This book is part of the Mated to the Monster multi-author monster romance series. All books can be read as standalone stories.
