About this book
After one too many glasses of wine and a desperate need for some stress relief, Maisie thought she was ordering a simple massage wand for her soap-making studio. Instead, she receives a crate the size of a refrigerator containing Oz, an eight-foot-tall, sentient slime monster who is as charming as he is tactile. He might have been hiding in a cave for eighty years, but he is determined to prove that his custom-made, shapeshifting technique is far superior to anything battery-operated.
This addictive paranormal romance masterfully blends high-heat spice with a surprisingly tender core. As the pair navigates their unconventional arrangement, the story leans beautifully into found-family dynamics, showing how a lonely woman and a misunderstood creature can create a sanctuary for one another. Their bond grows deeper just as a mysterious threat begins to haunt their small town, casting suspicion on the very monster who has become Maisie’s unexpected protector.
For readers who love unique monster mates and intense pack-style devotion, this story delivers everything you crave. It is a wild, imaginative ride that balances humor, danger, and deep emotional connection. If you are looking for a romance that completely defies the ordinary, prepare to be absolutely satisfied.

\"I ordered a small, discreet vibrator, and these men are wheeling in a shipping container across my yard.\" LOVED IT! You will become totally engrossed in the story. I fell in love with Oz almost immediately, he will tug on your heart strings. I was a little surprised with the twist at the end, but it made me chuckle as well.
