Drayce For half my life I have longed for the nymph who frequents the woods of Upstate New York. Finally, she told me she would be mine if I took her away from here. Then she stood me up and mated with the satyr. Having sworn never to be bothered with romance again, I spend my days plotting revenge. I’ve set my trap to humiliate them. When the alarms indicate the trap is sprung, I rush to meet my prey. What I find is the most beautiful human I’ve ever seen. I don’t even like humans, but I can’t take my eyes off this one. She struggles against my net in a vain attempt to escape me. The longer I look at her, the more certain I am that this woman is mine. Kori I lost my friends on a hike in the woods. If that wasn’t bad enough, I walked into some kind of animal trap and now I’m dangling twenty feet off the ground in a giant net. I scream, but the odds of someone hearing me seem less than zero. It’s more likely that I’m about to be eaten by a bear or mountain lion. The last thing I expect is a dragon to fly through the forest and stare at me with giant blue eyes. My screaming turns to whimpers. Terrified, I start babbling the way I always do when I’m afraid. Instead of devouring me, the monster’s eyes soften, he releases me from the trap and cradles me in his arms. As soon as we touch terra firma, he transforms into a stunning man. If I’m not dead, then this fairy tale is my dream come true. ***** This book is part of the Mated to the Monster multi-author monster romance series. All books can be read as standalone stories.
