Welcome to Monstera Bluff, a quaint, coastal small town with a monstrously big secret.
After Cara Bishop's terrible year of heartache and upheaval, she finally lands her dream job as a city planner... in a place that just so happens to be inhabited by monsters and witches she never knew existed. Go figure they'd grapple with the same urban planning issues as everyone else! As the shock of their existence wears off, she's determined to land on her feet once and for all in this unusual yet charming place that feels so far away from everything she's trying to escape. Except a brooding gargoyle named Ben-who is frustratingly unavoidable both at work and outside of it-as well as some odious local power brokers seem quite unhappy with her sudden appearance in their hidden, magickal town.
Ben Garde-Pierre thought his humdrum road construction project for the town would proceed like any other. That is, until Cara-a human uninitiated with his world- arrives with a shiny new job at town hall, shaking up his entire life. Her presence proves to be an unexpected though not unwelcome complication. Ben soon recognizes he must protect her from a series of escalating forces that would drive her away, including his own burgeoning feelings for her.
Despite these obstacles, will Cara reclaim her career and make a life for herself in Monstera Bluff? Or will this be yet another mistake in her rollercoaster of a year?
