My Wylde-lings, I have great news! And I mean great! Another round of Monster Security Agency books is here! This is going to be one hell of a month! I'm excited.

And these books are BIG. I mean, they are full, solid novels. Three standalone books that you can devour in July. They come out one week apart, and the first one is already live and available in Kindle Unlimited. Make sure you grab it!

Oh, and have I mentioned these are monster romance novels? Like, the heroes are truly monstrous, and completely different from boring human males. LOL

Enjoy Heart of the Kraken, by Cassie Alexander!

A kraken, a scientist, and a love under pressure….

As a kraken bodyguard, I rarely get human clients. When I do, the only way to protect them is to form a telepathic bond. I don’t like it, but after my wife’s death years ago I’ve learned to build an impenetrable shield around myself and my emotions, until I meet my newest client. She's a scientist investigating an ancient relic on the ocean floor. The abyssal plane is no place for humans, but the job is the job, so I shut off my soul, bury my secrets, and link our minds.

The flood of her emotions takes me by surprise. I thought I would be in charge, but our bond is stripping us both bare, layer after layer, until she can see my bleeding wounds, and I can taste her unspoken desires.

We cannot be together. We can’t even touch. She breathes air, and I live at high pressure at the bottom of the ocean. Our feelings bring us nothing but torment, and I know once she’s on dry land again, I’ll have to sever our bond.

But when she’s betrayed by the people she’s working for, and her life is in danger–I will not rest until she’s safe in all of my arms.

The second book that will release next week is mine - Guarded by the Leshy. Make sure you pre-order it. It drops next Wednesday!

Let me show you a little excerpt below. Just in case you were wondering what a leshy is, and how they... umm... procreate?

Guarded by the Leshy - July 17

How did the human saying go? Follow someone like a puppy?

That was definitely not what was happening here.

I was following Thea because I’d been hired to guard her. It was my job. My duty.

Ugh! Who was I kidding? She’d touched me back there, at the cabin. Touched me. With her gloved hand, but it had been enough. Now I wanted to feel her skin on my bark. She’d made me... hard. Now I was walking with a stump protruding from my lower region, and as much as I willed it to retreat into my body, it refused to do so. It felt swollen and throbbing, and if she touched me again, it would only grow bigger and thicker.

To be fair, I hadn’t thought my body was capable of doing that anymore. Getting hard for a female. And she was human, too. Her frail body should’ve left me indifferent. Maybe it was because I hadn’t experienced any sort of intimacy in too many years. I’d forgotten how much I needed it. How much I craved someone else’s touch.

The leshy were a cool and rational species. We weren’t known for our lust and desire. We weren’t made of flesh, so we weren’t carnal. We mated once in our lives, and once the male found his female, a seed started growing within him, at the base of his cock, so to speak, and he would plant that seed inside her, and from her body, a leshy sprout would grow. Usually, the male produced a single seed in his life. It was rare that a male could produce two seeds and impregnate his mate twice. The leshy lived impossibly long lives. If we multiplied too much, we would’ve taken over the world, and that was something we weren’t interested in. We liked our small, tight communities.

It could’ve never worked with a human. Our anatomies were too different. I had to stop thinking about Thea in that way. It wasn’t healthy.

I nodded, shuffling a bit closer until I could reach into the pool and dip my fingers in the water. It wasn’t quite like touching, but it felt a bit similar. That pool was so filled with his body, it almost seemed like the water was an organic part of him.

He watched my fingers as they skimmed the surface. The water was surprisingly cool, but not icy cold.

“So, where is he now? Why doesn’t he use this place anymore?” I asked, playing with the water.

It quietened some of my longing, but at the same time, it sharpened it into an even greater need. This was barely enough to fill the yawning craving for touch that gaped inside my chest.

“He’s dead,” Vodyan said without inflection, like it didn’t matter one way or another. When I looked up, startled, he shook his head. “He didn’t die in my care, but on land. This place is completely safe. You have nothing to worry about.”

Water splashed as one of his tentacles shot out with a jerky, compulsive motion. It almost brushed my fingers—I felt a ghost of a touch as the air he stirred whispered across my wet knuckles—and dipped back under the water.

I pretended I hadn’t noticed, and Vodyan didn’t comment on it, either.

“How long did it stand empty?” I asked, dipping my entire palm under water.

Vodyan released a sharp breath, and I looked up. The softness leeched out of his face, replaced by that hard look from the day we met. He didn’t look at me, his eyes focused on where my wrist dipped under the surface.

Slowly, as if he was a wild animal I didn’t want to startle, I pulled my hand out and wiped it on my leggings. The air felt suddenly heavy and charged, and I was anxious I’d done something wrong.

Vodyan looked up and slowly leaned back against the edge of the pool, relaxing.

Happy reading!
