I’m the monster of their nightmares. And she’s their peace offering to keep me at bay. Lucy thinks her life with me is a death sentence. That I’m a beast who will snuff out her existence. That’s what the villagers had intended. But what she doesn't get is… I'm the one she needs. They rejected her. I will taste her, devour her. I won’t kill her. I want to take my time exploring my gift… Until she’s begging me to let her unravel. She might think I’m deadly now. But soon she’ll see me for what I am… Her destiny. You can a monster romance where our main characters are dealing with emotional scars and dark pasts. This is a possessive obsessive romance with a predator/prey relationship. It has grumpy/sunshine vibes (kinda) and forced proximity. This is a stand-alone story with a happily ever after.
