Under His Watch of the Seam Book

A mortal influencer is the worst thing a monster can want.Harper St. Claire lives for glossy light and quick laughs, not black-sand beaches and houses that breathe. When a creature tears into her apartment, she’s thrown under the protection of Krae, an ancient threshold who moves through shadows like they’re doors left ajar. Their arrangement should be simple: stay in Bodhi and Wren’s seaside stronghold, keep Harper alive, don’t look too closely at what sparks between them.Then a lure pulls Harper into the Night Market and she’s stolen by mirror-hooded brokers who trade rare things in blue-dyed rooms. Jesper, a collector with pretty manners and sharper interests, starts asking for a mortal with pale hair, and the bids rise with the body count. Krae rips through wire-slung couriers, cold bays, and hush-door chapels to bring Harper back, but every rescue costs them another piece of distance.He wanted one evening and a plate of pastries. Now he wants everything.As the city of doors narrows around them, Harper learns how to survive a realm that prices breath, and Krae stops pretending he isn’t already choosing her. Someone is hunting Wren through Harper, Jesper is not the only buyer, and the blue warehouse keeps its own ledger. To make it out, they’ll have to outwit a market that never forgets a scent and a monster who never stops once he’s found what he wants.Dark, seductive, and wickedly funny, Monster Snare is a standalone romance set after “Under Her Bed” Book One, featuring a dangerous protector, forced proximity, knife-edge flirting, and a city that sells desire by the cord. I would recommend reading Under Her Bed first though.Content notes: violent moments, kidnapping, morally gray decisions, and open-door spice.
