The Sanctuary said she needed protection. What she got was a 7-foot hellhound with smoke in his eyes and a body made to burn.

When Tamsin agreed to the Monster Matrimony Protocol, she expected a scaly lizard, maybe a bear-man. She did not expect to be claimed by a hellhound general from the volcanic borderlands—part ancient god, part flame-wreathed warrior, all muscle and menace.

Her new husband, Soranus, doesn’t speak much. His version of courtship involves silent guarding, heated stares, and growls that vibrate in her bones.

But as the bond settles and the heat builds, Tamsin realizes something dangerous:
She might be falling for the monster she married.

And he’s already on fire for her.
