  When I'm confronted in the woods by a man with a chainsaw and a gorgeous face, I should’ve known it would end poorly. But when I end up in the killer’s house instead of chopped into little pieces, I don’t know what to think. Not when he promises me that he won’t hurt me, and especially when he tells me that I can’t leave. Not unless he can trust me . He can’t, of course. I’ll tell anyone that will listen that this monster cut up some man in the moonlight, even if he promises that it had been deserved. He’s lying, because there’s no way anyone deserves what he did. Earning his trust is an act, but when the lie starts to fail, I find that the man underneath the terrifying mask is something altogether different than I could ever expect. He’s charming, sweet, and his obsession with me is dangerous enough that I know I should run far and fast before either of us can act on it. Can a monster like him ever love a girl he found in the woods, or am I destined to become Sunday dinner for a...

  Book Description: Featuring magical realism and "Orlando"-esque touches, the two linked novellas plunge the reader into the slippery world of an aging writer as she delves into her half-remembered childhood and re-experiences volatile relationships. The swirling structure, with its interwoven narratives and warping time periods, deals with the treacherous nature of memory and how an author, Sidonie Ross, returns to the past in order to illuminate and understand it; how unhealed wounds from childhood re-surface in adult consciousness like emotional thorns, especially those relating to shame, guilt, disappointment, betrayal, and rejection.  ​ Buy the Book: Amazon  add to  Goodreads Meet the Author: Laury A. Egan is the author of twelve novels:  "The Psychologist’s Shadow;" "The Firefly;" "Once, Upon an Island;" "Wave in D Minor;" "Turnabout;" "Doublecrossed;" "The Swimmer;" "The Ungodly Hour;" ...

  Esme will not be used again, certainly not as fodder in a war that has nothing to do with her. When she makes a mad dash from the field of battle, she becomes a deserter, with nowhere to go except deeper into trollkin territory. Drazak the orc and Han’zir the troll have lived a quiet, peaceful life together on their farm—until they find a human woman sleeping in their barn. When Esme convinces them to let her stay in exchange for work, Han’zir is excited about their new “pet” human. But Drazak is inexplicably drawn to her, and fears what his hunger could mean for them when Han’zir has already refused his life pledge once before. It isn't long before Esme begins to feel at home in this idyllic place. But she’ll soon find she can’t escape the war forever. This is a super steamy, M/M/F monster romance (45k words) that incorporates characters from previous novels but can be read as a standalone, and takes place during the events of Book 1 and Book 2. It features two MMCs in a relatio...
