Hey !

Cara Wylde's new addition to the Arranged Monster Mates series is live and available to read! It's a fun monster romance, and if you're wondering why I used the 🎂 emoji in the subject, it's because the FMC jumps out of the grumpy MMC's birthday cake 😍

The book is live on Amazon, and you can grab it here. Happy reading!

This isn't the last book by Cara Wylde in this series. In June this year, one more final title will come out in the Arranged Monster Mates series, and it will be a charity book, Wed to the Lynx. Cara has been feeding and taking care of stray cats for a year. Her compassion led her to take interest in her local cat shelter, which desperately needs support. Therefore, all royalties she earns from the charity book will go to help the kitties! You can preorder the book right now to help the cause.

And next week...

My final book in the series comes out next week! Wed to the Basilisk is a novel telling the story of Voss, a lonely basilisk, and Alina, his bride, who's running from an abusive ex. Shall we do one final teaser? Yes, we shall!

This is from the scene where they meet for the first time.

“Suffering?” she asked. “You mean, you’re in pain?”

I shook my head, lightness filling my chest despite the distance between us. “Not any more. Because you’re near.”

She gasped softly, and I dared look up. Truth was, I couldn’t deny myself her sight. She was alien and strange, with soft, easily damaged skin, long hair that had tickled my nose when I held her, and a heartbeat so much faster and flightier than mine.

Her body radiated warmth I wanted to bask in like it was my personal sun. She was it, the right female for me, and my body sang with recognition.

And yet, it wasn’t as it should be, because she was human, and I was not. Had she been a basilisk, she would have felt the same things I did. We would be already locked together at this stage, two perfect mates recognizing each other, their bodies joining in union.

Need burned in my loins, hot and insistent, but there was no relief. My bride evidently didn’t feel the same fire. If anything, she looked anxious. I felt every cold inch of the distance stretching between us.

You can still preorder the book on Amazon to get it first thing when it goes live next week! The paperback version is already available.

Content Note

Like all Arranged Monster Mates books, it's a standalone based on the arranged marriage trope. We have a monster MMC, a virgin human FMC, forced proximity, and spice.

Below, I list the important things to know about the content and potential triggers that might be a bit spoilerish - so you can stop reading this email now if you don't feel the need to read the trigger warnings. I did my best to keep spoilers to a minimum.

MINOR SPOILERS BELOW

MINOR SPOILERS BELOW

Potential triggers: abusive ex, verbal and physical abuse (from the ex), a brief moment of suicidal ideation, memories of gaslighting and manipulation, death and murder on page, species extinction.

There is pregnancy in the epilogue.

Kinks: primal chase, breeding, double penetration.

I want to assure you our MMC is sweet, protective, and would never hurt the heroine even if he has no compunction about slaughtering anything and anyone that threatens her. Hope this content note was helpful!

Okay, thank you so much and I'll be in touch next week! Happy reading!

Love,
