Maneater

A witch seeking connection…

If something ever seems too good to be true, it probably is. That’s how the “friendly” invitation to join a new coven turned into a surprise demon summoning. At least it wasn't a virgin sacrifice. Then I really would have been screwed—and not in the way they plan for with the succubus they’ve bound.

When I help free her from the bindings and offer her a ride back to work, things get even weirder. She tells me she wants to see me again. This captivating woman wants to see me—a nerdy witch who spends his free time playing D&D.

There’s no way she means it. Because that’s definitely too good to be true. Still, there’s no way I can resist the opportunity to spend more time with a goddess like her.

A succubus with a soft heart…

Nothing like getting summoned by a bunch of cultists to ruin your night. These creeps trapped me and won’t let me leave until I “feed on their desires”. I may be a succubus, but I’m not that desperate.

Thankfully, an unexpected savior helps free me. He’s adorable. So shy and earnest, valiantly trying to suppress the desire he feels in my presence. At first, I think it’s an act. But he proves his sweet nature is genuine.

Something about this witch calls to me. Not just to take him to the darkest depths of desire and see him undone—though that sounds fun. But to let myself open my scarred heart to someone who might not crush it.

Maneater is a cozy, high-heat monster romance novella set in the 1980s featuring a lanky cinnamon roll witch MMC and, a curvy, confident succubus FMC.

This novella is a prequel to the upcoming novel Behold Her, but both can be read as stand-alone stories.
