BugBear Bound: A Dark Monster Romance
A Dark Monster Romance
He was supposed to be a nightmare.
Towering, scarred, and feared by all who whispered his name, the bugbear was a creature of brute strength and savage instinct—one no woman should ever challenge. When fate binds her to him in the depths of the forest, fear is expected.
But fear isn’t what takes hold.
He claims her with primal certainty, believing dominance is his by right. He protects her fiercely, shadows and violence bending at his command. Yet beneath his brutal exterior lies something unexpected—restraint, devotion… and a hunger that makes him vulnerable.
As danger closes in, she begins to see the truth.
The bugbear may be powerful, but he is bound to her just as tightly. Her voice steadies him. Her presence commands him. And when she finally takes control, the monster who once ruled by force finds himself kneeling willingly—claimed not by strength, but by desire.
Bugbear Bound is a standalone dark monster romance featuring a fierce heroine, a powerful non-human hero, a delicious power shift, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after for readers who love dominant monsters brought to heel.

Straight spice
Limited plot with Lots (and lots) of spice. It is what it is. Fun, but pretty simple. You've been warned.
