Hating the lion: A zodiac monster romance

Every two hundred years, the monsters of the zodiac become flesh to claim a virgin tribute.

Maria has spent her life as the mafia's perfect weapon. Poisoner. Assassin. Monster. When she's captured by the feral lion shifter whose family she was ordered to kill, she expects a brutal execution. Instead, she's offered a choice: submit to an ancient virginity contract that binds them together, or die.

Leo is a zodiac monster driven by vengeance. Maria is the last person he should trust. But as the magic binding them forces them closer, he questions whether she's a ruthless killer, or the fated mate who could release him from his demons.

Hating the lion is a spicy, enemies-to-lovers monster romance novel featuring a feral lion shifter, a deadly mafia assassin, an ancient magical contract, and two enemies who discover that revenge is no match for fate. It can be read as a standalone but features characters from other Zodiac Monster books. And banter. Lots of banter.
