About this book
Jamie Torres is just trying to survive his corporate job, but a sudden case of mistaken identity lands him in the corner office as a high-level executive. His new boss? Magnus, a powerful and disciplined Minotaur CEO who is as intimidating as he is attractive. While Jamie struggles to bluff his way through strategy meetings, he finds it impossible to ignore the intense, magnetic pull between them. Every late-night project feels like a high-stakes dance, and the heat rising between the mailroom dreamer and the beastly executive is quickly becoming impossible to hide.
Magnus has spent his life keeping his wilder instincts under strict control, but Jamie’s presence threatens to shatter his composure. With his possessive nature roaring to life, Magnus realizes that the young strategist is more than just a talented employee; he is a fated mate. As they race to secure the company’s biggest account, they must navigate a minefield of workplace secrets and undeniable chemistry.
For readers who adore monster romance and spicy workplace comedies, this story delivers a perfect blend of humor and heart. Featuring an alpha hero with a literal beast inside and a charmingly flawed protagonist, this paranormal romance is a refreshing, addictive escape that proves love is the ultimate merger.

This was my first ever exclusively MM romance book! What a super sweet, yet very spicy read. I enjoyed being transported into a world where monsters and humans lived side by side.

Oh, my stars. Mr. Wardell, you fabulous & filthy man! Full disclosure: I am a huge M.A. Wardell fan and have recommended his books to friends, family, and total strangers. When I saw a physical copy of one of his novels in a bookstore, I clapped my hands and squealed like I had something to do with the situation.
