Mercer: As a kraken, I prefer the open ocean, but I have to admit it’s lonely. With more and more monsters living openly in monster-friendly towns and boasting about their great friendships with humans, I decide to spend a summer in Harmony Glen, working at the lake as a seasonal lifeguard. It’s… okay, I guess. I see lots of human and monster friendships, even romances, but no one gravitates towards me. I wonder if all the stories about my wrathful ancestors sinking ships are giving me a bad name until…her.

Madelyn: Raising a kid on your own has to be easier in a small town, right? Life in the big city was exciting when I was younger, but now that I’m recently single with a non-stop three-year-old at my side, it’s terrifying. I’m hoping Harmony Glen will make life run a little smoother. Great theory—until Zack runs headlong into the lake and has to be rescued by some nightmarish monster—a kraken. Still, when Mercer, the kraken lifeguard, saves my son, I forget all my fears and plant a grateful kiss on him.

Mistakes: Kissing a kraken was the wrong move. Now, Mercer thinks I’m interested in him because, apparently, a kiss for a kraken is the same as initiating a lifetime bond. How can I convince him that I’m not the lifetime type, especially not when there’s a child in the picture?

Mission: I know that Madelyn is interested, but she’s putting up barriers. She doesn’t know that to a kraken, a kiss reveals a lifetime, past and present, and I can see that we’re meant to be. Now, it’s my mission to convince her that I’m the right monster to help her build the life that we’ve both been dreaming of.

Though they once lived in secret, “monsters” have inhabited the earth as long as humans. As technology advanced by leaps and bounds, the ability to remain hidden dwindled. Earth’s nonhuman creatures faced a choice: allow themselves to be discovered, or step forward and introduce themselves. Either option could have ended badly for monsters and humans alike—and in some places, it did.

But not in Harmony Glen.

After The Great Revelation, Harmony Glen welcomed monsters with open arms. This small, lakeside town in Upstate New York is now home to humans and nonhumans! Integration has been so successful in Harmony Glen, the town even changed its motto to “Come for the harmony, stay for the happily ever after.”

Welcome to Harmony Glen. We know you’re going to love it here.

Each book in the Harmony Glen multi-author series is a standalone cozy romance with a happily ever after! The books can be enjoyed in any order.
