About this book

Hannah never asked to be a werewolf, but after three decades as a human, she is forced to navigate a wild, shifting new reality. With her band’s long-awaited world tour hanging in the balance, she struggles to control the volatile, primal cravings that threaten to derail her career. Desperate for a solution to manage her monthly unrest, she turns to the Monster Smash Agency, hoping for a professional release that can handle her newfound intensity.

Enter Rafe, a gargoyle whose stony exterior masks a man feeling the wear and tear of his profession. Tasked with keeping his clients satisfied, Rafe is desperate to prove he still has what it takes to thrive in his role. When he is paired with Hannah, what begins as a strictly transactional arrangement quickly fractures under the weight of an undeniable, scorching chemistry.

This paranormal romance delivers exactly what fans of the genre crave: a perfect blend of high-stakes tension, emotional depth, and intense heat. Featuring the classic wolf-shifter trope with a refreshing, monster-sized twist, the story explores the connection between two beings who feel like outsiders in their own skin. If you are looking for a steamy, addictive read that balances rock-star drama with supernatural passion, this is your next obsession.
