It’s In His Hiss (Monster Between the Sheets: Screaming Woods)

He’s a grumpy gorgon. She’s pure chaos. Falling for her was never part of the plan.

Gordy

Love isn’t an option for me—not when my gaze can turn someone to stone. Ever since a mad scientist’s Halloween punch cursed me into a gorgon, I’ve kept to myself, running my bookstore in Screaming Woods, where monsters aren’t out of place. It’s safer that way.

Then Alice crashes into my shop—soaked, flustered, and utterly irresistible. She’s all sunshine and chaos, and suddenly, solitude doesn’t seem so appealing. But the more I want her, the more dangerous I become. Because if I lose control, I could...

Then Alice crashes into my shop—soaked, flustered, and utterly irresistible. She’s all sunshine and chaos, and suddenly, solitude doesn’t seem so appealing. But the more I want her, the more dangerous I become. Because if I lose control, I could lose her forever.

And then, just when I let myself believe in more, the worst happens.

Alice

I came to Screaming Woods searching for answers about my own strange magic, not expecting to fall for a grumpy, bookish gorgon with eyes he refuses to let me see. Gordy warns me to keep my distance, but I’ve never been good at listening.

The closer I get, the more I realize he’s just as cursed as I am. And when we finally stop fighting what’s between us, my worst fear becomes reality.

Now, I’m trapped in stone, frozen in time. And the only one who can save me is the man who’s spent his life afraid to look too closely at love.
