Forget hot flashes—this Monstrum warrior makes her burn.

Miranda thinks her days of passion are behind her—she’s a divorced, curvy, fifty-something English teacher deep in menopause who’s just trying to keep her daughter’s wedding on track. But when a General Bride Draft sweeps her into the arms of Korrath, a fierce Panther Monstrum from another universe, her world is turned upside down.

Tall, muscular, and devastatingly dominant, Korrath insists she is his Mature Elite—a rare woman entering herSecond Heat, ripe for pleasure, passion, and bonding. What follows is a whirlwind of forbidden desire, fated mates, and toe-curling pleasurethat makes Miranda question everything she thought she knew about love, lust, and age.

Will she surrender to his knot and let herself be bound to a Monstrum warrior forever? Or will she return to her ordinary human life, leaving behind the most earth-shattering passion she’s ever known?

alien warriors / monster romance
steamy sci-fi romance with HEA
…then you’ll devour Pleasured by the Panther, a spicy standalone Brides of the Kindred Monstrum novella.

**Author’s Note—I will be straight up with you—this short novella is way more spice than plot. Sorry, I blame my hormones. (Possibly I’m in my Second Heat.) So if you’re the kind of reader who skips over the spicy parts in a book, then this might not be for you. But if you like spice and kn0tting, and k1nky scenes with huge, anthropomorphic panthers and pleasure plants you can use as s3x toys, then come have some fun with me. ; )
