The lead singer in a glam rock band, she's wicked cool. Meanwhile, I practically live in my parents' antique shop. I've always been a good boy, listening to their rules and helping out around the mall. When Billie kisses me on the cheek, she nearly reveals what I really am. I want her like nothing else. She strikes a hunger in me that I'm sick of holding back. Only problem is, if I give in, the monster in me might get out. And once he’s out, who knows if he’ll ever stop? Fed After Midnight is an unusual friends-to-lovers Halloween monster romance set in an 80s mall, featuring three special rules that should never be broken (and absolutely do), public play, body horror, ethically ambiguous doppelgängers, and eating out after midnight.

The man I’m forced to marry is everything I despise. Henry’s reputation makes men tremble in fear and women quake with something else. He demands complete obedience and his deals are as sordid as his past. He gets exactly what he wants, and what he wants is me. My father sold me to him, but I’m not an obedient type of girl. Henry won’t get what he wants this time. Not from me. Not even when he looks at me with longing and his touch makes me burn. Not when I’m going to make him pay for everything he’s stolen from me. He's about to discover that even he can’t buy my heart–unless the price he's willing to pay is far higher than I ever thought a man like Henry would. \ \ \ \ \ \ This is a dark and spicy paranormal romance featuring an anti-hero, a strong heroine, and contains scenes and references of abuse/assault that some readers may find triggering, along with graphic sex scenes and violence. This is a dark book, suitable for 18+ readers only.
