Knotted by the Vine Lord: A Spicy Monster Romance (Briarglen, #1)

In the cozy monster town of Briarglen, where humans and creatures live side by side, botanist Lila Harlow is one eviction notice away from losing everything. Desperate for work, she answers a mysterious flyer for a vine tender at the legendary Verdant Hollow Greenhouse—home to the reclusive Vine Lord, Thorne Blackwood. Thorne is seven feet of brooding green muscle wrapped in living vines and thorns, intimidating as hell and twice as gorgeous. He grows rare moonbloom vines that require very intimate care... including direct feeding from his own potent essence. The job demands trust, proximity, and plenty of hands-on touch. Lila isn‘t scared off. She needs the generous pay, and she‘s always had a way with plants. But as she prunes glowing blooms and assists with Thorne‘s daily feedings, the heat between them builds. His vines brush her skin with curious caresses. His amber eyes linger on her curves. And when his thick, ridged length finally knots deep inside her, filling her with warm sap and promises of forever, Lila discovers she‘s found more than a job—she‘s bloomed right into the arms of her cinnamon-roll monster. A sweet and steamy monster romance with size difference, knotting, praise, breeding talk, vine tendril play, fluids galore, enthusiastic consent, and a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy towns and grumpy-but-gentle beasts who know exactly how to make their mate flourish.
