Trunk Show: a Filthy Gay Monster Prequel & Tentacles Book

MiloI get exiled from my elephant shifter herd for being pink, gay, and “a community threat.”Apparently glitter, crop tops, and a little trunk choreography at the farmers market are too much for tradition.So now I’m on the Oregon coast with one duffel bag, no plan, and absolutely no intention of toning it down.That’s how I end up at The Knotty Buoy—Brine Bay’s monster bar—and crash straight into the grumpiest, hottest kraken I’ve ever seen.Cass Abalone is all control.Sharp jaw. Sharp temper. Zero patience for chaos.Unfortunately for him, his tentacles have other ideas.One spilled drink, one very public shift, and suddenly his arms are everywhere—grabbing, wrapping, dragging me into a bathroom I definitely don’t walk out of the same way I went in.It’s supposed to be one night.No feelings. No promises. Just filthy tentacles, a very enthusiastic trunk, and chemistry that hits like a tidal wave.But when morning comes, reality bites harder than any hangover.I’m only passing through.He’s built a life here.And neither of us is prepared for what our bodies already decided.
