Monster Match

She met a hot reanimated dead guy at a monster speed dating event. Then things really got weird . . .

Lucy West wasn't looking for a husband at the Monster Match. She was just there to admire some gothic architecture and score a free meal. Then she met him.

Viktor Adamovic defied science. Literally. He was a monster who'd been stitched together from multiple, um, donors and resurrected centuries ago. Lucy liked him immediately. But the protective, possessive beast he kept leashed beneath his polished exterior? She wanted that guy in a big way.

Then the weirdness really hit the fan when he proposed a marriage of convenience. To her!

It seemed like the perfect solution to her problems and his. And in a fairy tale, that would've been their happy ending.

Too bad this wasn't that kind of story.

Because when the ghosts of Viktor's past come calling, Lucy realizes she's no princess—and if she wants her happily ever after with the monster of her dreams, she's going to have to fight for it . . . and him . . .
