Annie
As a human diplomat on the Orion Space Station, can I balance a new promotion, two demanding older kids and post-divorce life? It’s a challenge even I’m struggling to conquer.

In a world where the things that go bump in the night don’t just lurk—they love, My Monster, My Protector offers a darkly intimate look at the bond between beast and beloved. Each book unearths a new, primal protector—creatures feared for their strength, shunned for their form, and yet drawn irresistibly to the women who refuse to flinch. These are not fairytales dressed in velvet; they’re raw, feral romances where danger is constant, and devotion runs deeper than instinct.
Read full series description
What makes this series stand apart isn’t just the heat or the tension—it’s the surprising tenderness found in places most would never think to look. Set in richly imagined worlds filled with ancient curses, shadowy forests, and hidden realms, the stories balance gritty survival with slow-burning connection. Heroines aren’t here to be saved—they’re survivors in their own right, and sometimes it’s the monster who learns what it means to be human.
Part paranormal romance, part monster fantasy, this series thrives on contrast: beauty and brutality, fear and longing, otherness and understanding. For readers who crave protective anti-heroes, haunting atmospheres, and stories that blend myth and menace with deep emotional payoff, this series slips under the skin and stays there.
