Love is blindand apparently pretty hairy

My slimeball boss embezzled from the company and framed me!

I think I can prove I’m not guilty, but a trial will take months.

I don’t have months. I may not even have weeks.

Im incarcerated, terminally ill, and out of options.

My lawyers solution?

Well, let’s just say the guys legal advice lands me in the furry arms of a legendary cryptid.

Luckily, the big, possessive, cinnamon roll might be exactly what I need most right now

a savior.

**This is a SHORT, feel-good, instalove-inspired, fated mates romance full of laugh-out-loud humor, sizzling chemistry, and heartwarming moments.**

Dragon scales and bridal veils—billionaire shifters find their fiery mates!

I'm not a fan of humans.

As a major player in Big Pharma, I've encountered my share of swindlers, embezzlers and heartless sociopaths.

I don't expect my new wife to be any different, but duty calls.

Imagine my surprise when I'm instantly smitten.

But my trust issues run deep.

And when I catch her in a lie, I'm determined to uncover the truth.

What I find changes everything.

Love is blindand apparently pretty hairy

As a celebrity in hiding, on the run from a drug cartel, the last thing I expect is to end up in an underground Sasquatch city with a lovable furball who thinks were soulmates.

Hes sweet, protective, and surprisingly sexy for someone of another species.

As I navigate this bizarre new world of monster dating, square dancing, and glow-in-the-dark private parts (dont ask), I find myself falling for the big lug and the quirky community of Grotto.

Now I have to decide: give up my glamorous life topside, or take a chance on hairy, handsome, and happily ever after?

Love is blindand apparently pretty hairy

Love robbed me of everything.

The public scandal stole my pride, my joy, and my self-worth.

Grotto offers me a fresh start.

An underground city full of Sasquatches? Why not?

Then, along comes Olwydd—an 8 foot tall, growly beast who is completely smitten by me.

Or so he says.

But after my past, men who come on too strong make me nervous and trust is dirty word.

I wish he'd back off and leave me alone.

I think.

Maybe.

Don't I?
