When cryptid hunter Chloe ventures into the Pine Barrens searching for proof of the Jersey Devil, she finds something far more dangerous than legend—and far more irresistible.

Chloe has built her reputation on chasing monsters. Armed with her camera and an insatiable appetite for the impossible, she’s faced down every cryptid myth from coast to coast. But the Jersey Devil is different. The stories are older, darker, and whisper of something that doesn’t just hunt—it claims.

Deep in the ancient cedar groves where gravity is just a suggestion and shadows walk upside down, Chloe finally gets her exclusive interview. But the Devil isn’t interested in being documented. He’s interested in her.

One touch, and her world inverts. One taste, and she’s marked. One night suspended between earth and sky, and she’s ruined for anything—anyone—else.

He walks where he pleases. He defies every law of nature. And when he knotted her a hundred feet in the air, gravity wasn’t the only thing she surrendered to.

Now, back in the flat, boring human world, Chloe carries his mark, his scent, and a dark secret that will never make it to her blog. Because some stories aren’t meant to be told.

They’re meant to be lived again and again.

He promised he’d call. She’s already aching to answer.

A dark, primal monster romance featuring gravity-defying encounters, possessive claiming, knotting, and a cryptid who knows exactly what his little bird needs. This is an explicit standalone with a “happily ever after… for now” ending. Not for the faint of heart—or those afraid of heights.
