Love Me, Monster
A Crooked Crown Valentine's Special
Valentine Reyes doesn't believe in love-at least not the kind made of flowers and promises.
But on a bitter February night, exhausted and aching for something real, she lights a forbidden candle and whispers a wish:
Send me someone who won't leave.
Even if he's a monster.
Something answers.
A clawed hand slips out of the shadows.
A voice curls around her spine and purrs,
You called me, my Valentine.
He is hunger shaped like devotion.
A creature stitched from forgotten wishes and broken hearts, bound to her by a curse older than desire itself.
He cannot leave.
She cannot ignore him.
And every night he becomes a little more real.
A little more hers.
As Valentine teaches him the meaning of touch, consent, and longing, the bond between them deepens-dangerously.
If she doesn't choose him by midnight on Valentine's Day, he will unravel into something ancient and unstoppable... or vanish forever.
But choosing him means giving in to the darkness she's always feared inside herself.
And loving him might destroy the last human parts of her heart.
He was made from her loneliness.
He lives for her voice.
And he will burn the world to stay.
When the curse finally strikes and the monster begins to transform, Valentine must decide:
Save herself-
or claim the creature who loves her too fiercely to be human.
A lush, feral, and intoxicating Valentine's novella for readers who like their romance with claws, devotion, and ruinous desire.
