Gatlin:

I've always protected my twin sister. But when something I can't fight threatens her life, I'm reduced to relying on science and medicine to fight for us. I feel powerless as I watch her lose more ground to her illness every day. When the doctor pulls me aside to speak with me about end-of-life care, I lose it.

Gemma has always believed in something more in this world, and in my desperation, I find it. Our world is filled with monsters; for a price, they will heal my sister.

I just have to give them what they ask for––me.

Palmer:

Gatlin Rose's present echoes my past. He barrels into our world seeking a cure for his sister, unaware of how he has jeopardized his own life just by seeking us out. I feel the overwhelming need to protect him before his wretchedness attracts the real monsters of our society.

It is simple to heal his sister, but I want something in return. I invoke a right that Boo Hags last used centuries before even I was born: he must live his life, magically intertwined with mine for a year and a day.

It's dangerous to give him access to my home, to allow him around my people, to give him the chance to invade my heart. It would be too easy to love this man.

Knowing this, I still bind myself to this beautiful, brawny artist because I have hope—hope that he may just be the key to unlocking a miracle of my own.

Check out this slow-burn, marriage of convenience, forced proximity romance where he learns that beauty is only skin deep, and she learns that it's never too late to fall in love.

Monstrous grooms and beastly brides? Don't be afraid of falling in love… it's super-natural!
