Bounty and Bone: Monsters in My Bed, Book 5

Two decades of cleaning up the supernatural messes that the ESCU insists don’t exist have turned me into a seasoned pro with a disciplinary record to match. I’ve faced enough horrors to know when a mission is destined for disaster, and my latest assignment is already screaming trouble. My new partner, Ziggy, is a furry, blue-hued monster with a massive heart, a head full of dreams—and the inconvenient title of my accidental spouse following a one-night stand that spiraled completely out of control. Navigating a high-stakes search for an escaped creature and a rogue soldier is difficult enough without the added friction of an unintended marriage weighing on our professional dynamic. I’m determined to keep my guard up; my past relationships ended in ashes, and I can’t afford to let feelings cloud my judgment now. Yet, as we dig deeper into the trail of the missing pair, the foundation of the agency I’ve served for twenty years begins to crumble. Everything I thought I knew about the ESCU is starting to feel like a carefully constructed lie. Trapped between a chaotic mission and an unwanted bond, I have to figure out if I can survive the secrets hidden in the shadows—or the man-beast currently sleeping in my bed.
