She expected a brute. She got a baker with a tail full of venom -- and an oven full of feelings.

When Mira agrees to the Monster Matrimony match, she's mostly in it for survival. A human woman can't live outside Sanctuary alone, and a monster mate offers food, safety... and apparently, a husband.

But she wasn't prepared for Vuhr, a soft-spoken manticore warrior with lethal instincts and a surprisingly gentle touch. Their cultures clash, their customs confuse each other -- but when their bond is sealed, it's scorching.

As Mira learns to read his nonverbal language and Vuhr struggles not to accidentally sting the woman he's come to adore, love begins to bloom in unexpected places.

Even in the post-apocalypse... a girl can still get a happy ending.

*******

Married to the Manticore is part of The Monster Matrimony Files -- a series of short, spicy monster romances set in a post-apocalyptic world where love is arranged, monsters are husband material, and the bridal contract comes with claws. Each story features a guaranteed happily ever after, species-specific steam, and a heroine who signs the paperwork and claims her beast.
