Monster in the Paint

He was drafted to be prey. He became something far more dangerous. 🏀🔥

Ezra Vale is the first human ever recruited for Gravaball—a brutal sport where monsters compete for blood, glory, and the right to claim what's theirs. He's fast, he's fearless, and he talks too much for his own good. What he isn't prepared for is Therak, the league's most dominant alpha and his assigned "bondmate."

Seven feet of obsidian muscle and barely restrained hunger, Therak has broken every omega who's tried to sync with him. But Ezra isn't like the others. When their bond ignites on live broadcast, it awakens something in both of them that threatens to reshape the very nature of the game.

Now the league wants them eliminated. Rival alphas want to steal what Therak has claimed. And Ezra's body is evolving in ways that defy every law of biology.

Some bonds are forged in fire. Others are written in starlight and sealed with submission.

What readers are saying: "Mars Creed doesn't just write monster romance—they redefine what it means to be claimed." "If you thought you knew alpha/omega dynamics, think again. This book will ruin you." "Sports romance has never been this feral. I'm obsessed."

Perfect for readers who crave:
✓ Alpha/omega dynamics with a twist
✓ Sports romance that plays by its own rules
✓ Public claiming and territorial alphas
✓ Evolution, transcendence, and impossible bonds
✓ Heat cycles, breeding themes, and primal dominance
✓ Enemies-to-lovers with cosmic consequences

Content warnings: Explicit sexual content, knotting, heat cycles, claiming bites, breeding themes, violence in sporting context, and transcendence that rewrites the rules of biology.

This is Book 1 in the Monster in the Paint series. Ezra and Therak's story continues in "Bred for Transcendence."
