Two years after the alien invasion shattered his world, Cade lives a quiet, lonely life on his family’s farm. The fields still grow, the sun still rises—but nothing feels the same. His parents are gone, his best friend and lover lost to the war, and every sunset reminds him of what the monsters took from him. He’s learned to survive on silence, anger, and hard work… until the day he finds one of them bleeding in his barn.

Elik is unlike any of the giant invaders Cade remembers. Wounded and half-conscious, his blood shimmers orange and green, his smooth head and clawed hands marking him as the enemy. Cade knows he should turn him in. Instead, something in the alien’s eyes—something gentle, lost, and unbearably human—stops him. Against all reason, Cade hides him. Nurses him. Learns his voice, his quiet humor, his pain. And slowly, impossibly, desire takes root in the soil of their shared solitude.

But peace is fragile in Woranol. When word spreads of a fugitive alien in Cade’s district, soldiers come searching. Elik is driven away—and Cade realizes that losing him feels worse than losing everything else. With nothing left to lose, he’ll risk his life, his land, and his freedom to bring Elik home again.

Cade and Elik: Love on the Farm is the first book in the Monsters and Men series—a steamy, emotional M/M alien romance about forbidden love, healing after loss, and the courage to claim happiness in a world that says you can’t. Expect slow-burn tenderness, blazing chemistry, and a hard-won happily ever after that will melt your heart.
