Snuggling Under Snowdrifts, Book 2
Monster Romance
Date Published: 8/8/2023
I found the most elusive spot to hide from my parent’s cult but in claiming my cave, I accidentally allowed a snow monster to claim me…
Dr. Sydney Decker
Six months ago, Dr. Vera Thompson disappeared into the wilderness to settle with a mysterious “survivalist colony” without a known location. She may have bought their lies, but I was born into an isolated group of religious fanatics and can’t believe Vera would fall into the same trap. Her weak “find my phone app” signal is the lifeline between us, and I won’t stop searching the frigid tundra for her. My best friend helped me escape but now, it’s my turn to save her.
Sergei
Loneliness threatens my sanity with each rejection at the annual mating chase. Females fear my hot temper and need for control, instead of appreciating that I am the biggest and fiercest male chuchunya. I had lost hope I would discover my dushevnayasvyaz or soulmate, but then she found us. This season I find myself breaking the ancient rules and deliberately damaging the rituals I hold dear…at her request. I meant what I said when I promised to rearrange the world to make my dushevnayasvyaz happy, but when will I be pushed too far?
Caught between the regimented conditioning of the clan and the willful spirit of his dushevnayasvyaz, Sergei must choose the order which keeps him stable or his chance at fated love. Will they escape punishment for their deeds or face shunning in a desolate place where community means survival? Will Sydney recognize he’s betraying his kin to win her heart or ignore their bond in fear of losing her independence?

Excerpt from "Spooning My Chuchunya"
“Is this okay? What are you thinking?”
I can’t answer her because my brain has narrowed its focus
to her tiny tongue, licking her lips. I’m fighting for coherent thoughts.
“I’m honored by your touch. If I seemed distant, I’ve been
admiring the stars on your skin as you move,” I whisper in a growly voice.
“Stars? My freckles? Is that why you call me ‘Little Stars?’
You like my freckles,” she says, lifting her arm out of the water. She slowly
rotates it so I can run my fingertips over the dots to connect them. Wow, I
thought they would be raised bumps. Instead I’m treated to the petal softness
of her skin.
“When I first saw you, I thought you were a gift from heaven
because the night sky was drawn on your skin.” Spouting idiotic poetry like a
Squirrely Svoloch, does this happen to every aroused male, or is my
runaway mouth another uncomfortable symptom of dushevnayasvyaz?
