The Werewolf’s Knot

Age Gap, Fated Mates, Monster Romance with Knotting

He was her target, her monster, her damnation... and her only salvation.

Tara Fang is the only hunter skilled enough to stop the beast slaughtering its way through the forests of her village. Tracking the monster to its lair is a duty she accepts without question, but the creature she corners is no mindless animal.
He is Darius, the last sane werewolf of a cursed bloodline, a lonely sentinel fighting a secret war against his own feral kin. He is intelligent, articulate, and brutally powerful. And he decides Tara is not his enemy, but his prize.
Trapped in his mountain den, Tara finds her defiance melting under his possessive, primal claiming. His filthy promises become her reality, his articulate commands her only desire. But their forced bond is a beacon to the true monsters outside, and to survive, the hunter must learn to trust the beast who has sworn to be her ruin and her protector.

This standalone book has themes of monster romance, human/werewolf interspecies relationship, forced proximity, protector anti-hero, primal play, mating bite, knotting, touch her and die vibes, a cursed bloodline, and a happily ever after.
