Golem’s Touch

A Monster Age Gap, Fated Mates, Why Choose Romance

He rose from the earth to claim her, but his touch would be her salvation or her undoing.

In a city of ghosts, potter Lena Ash survives by her craft. But when a golem of living clay rises from the earth beneath her studio, her world of quiet survival shatters. He is Terrak, a monster of impossible power and chilling logic, and he has chosen her for a singular, terrifying purpose.
Taken deep beneath the earth to a dying, alchemical forge, Lena is given a choice: become the machine's living catalyst, or be left to the warlord who would see her used as fuel. Terrak's protection is a cage, his touch a possessive brand. His voice is a low command, promising her a purpose she must accept on her knees, his praise a guttural growl as he tells her exactly how she belongs to him.
To save herself, she must trust the monster who captured her, forging an alliance in battle and sealing it in the heat of his bed. But as his claim deepens from a simple vow to an inescapable physical bond, Lena discovers that surrender might be the most powerful weapon of all.

This standalone book has themes of monster romance, forced proximity, possessive anti-hero, dystopian romance, breeding and pregnancy, knotting, touch her and you die, alchemy and magic, primal play, and a hard-won HEA.
