SPORE: MAX HEAT Dark MM+ Monster Romance
Five friends. One bachelor party. The Black Forest swallows them whole.
Nolan Hale knows the Schwarzwald better than most Americans — he's a wildlife biologist who studies fungal networks. When he convinces his college friends to celebrate Jonah's last week of freedom with a hiking trip through Germany's oldest forest, he expects dense canopy, bad cell service, and maybe a few awkward conversations about the feelings he's buried for a decade.
He doesn't expect the air to change. The sweetness that gets heavier the deeper they go. The way his friends start standing too close, touching too long, laughing at nothing. The way his own body begins to betray every wall he's built since sophomore year.
Something lives beneath the Black Forest. Something ancient and vast, woven into the root systems and the mycelium and the dark water of a glacial lake where priests once banished demons. The spores it releases don't create desire. They strip away every reason to deny it.
First the men turn on each other. Then the forest reveals what's been watching.
The Waldschratten are waiting. And they've been patient for a very long time.
SPORE is a standalone dark MM+ monster romance featuring explicit content, multiple partners, monster/human contact, spore-induced altered states, and a group of formerly straight men who discover that the forest wants what it wants. Reader discretion is strongly advised.
This book is not for everyone. It is for you.
