Frankenstein made them. Life tore them apart. Can the holidays bring them back together?
Rhea (AKA Mrs. Stein) has never gotten over her ex ending their marriage and abandoning her, but after several lifetimes apart, it’s time for them to bury the hatchet, the pitchforks, and the flaming torches, and be mature adults. After all, they’re both over two hundred.
Manny Finklestein changed his name when he left Europe decades ago. He thought leaving Rhea behind would be the best thing for her. It was his fault that such a beautiful creature even existed—and was branded as a hideous monster.
Manny is in shock (no pun intended) when he gets a message that Rhea is not only alive but in Pine Ridge for the holidays to say goodbye, part as friends—and get him to sign divorce papers.
But what happens when magic, mistletoe, and merry-making combine with the former Mr. and Mrs.? Could they be destined for a real shot at love outside of a madman’s lab? It’ll take a holiday miracle to re-make this monster match.
Monsters, Marriage, and Mistletoe is a standalone novella in the Pine Ridge universe. Inside, you'll find a sweet holiday novella with a happily ever after and a high dose of steam. It's the perfect treat if you like your nice with a side of spice!
Pale girl. Freak. Vampire. Ghost.
They say death rides a pale horse...
Sophie is very much alive.
Sophie used to think she was beautiful, a literal incarnation of Snow White.
That was before the bullying began— and never really stopped.
Even choosing a college in a tiny mountain town doesn't stop the stares and whispers. Pale Girl... Freak. Vampire. Ghost.
Sophie doesn't know her own secrets. What makes her so pale? What causes flames to dance from her fingertips and in the depths of her eyes? Does the mysterious man she crashes into on campus know the answers to her questions?
Jesse keeps a low profile. He knows friendships are dangerous and love is out of the question.
He wasn't supposed to find Sophie. He wasn't supposed to fall in love with everything about her. But when she learns the truth about what he is, what she might be, too; will she run from him and retreat deeper into herself? Or can they save each other?
Pale Girl is a sweet but steamy standalone set in the Pine Ridge Universe and is a Paranormal Romance Guild 2021 Reviewer's Choice Award Nominee!
