Soft as a Spike
(2026)(The fifth book in the Chaos God Sugar and Spice Companion Shorts series)
A Story by Deiri Di
I have a secret.
It is the only reason I survived the Order Academy. While others clawed for rank or bled for favor, I kept my head down and my body hidden so I could stay invisible. Useful. Forgettable.
For years, that was enough.
Until the Barons decided I had outlived my usefulness.
I squired for them. Worked as a pack-mule for their Dungeon Dives and cleaned up after their messes. But paperwork is inconvenient when a body lost in the labyrinth requires none at all. So they did not dismiss me.
They delivered me.
To the dark beneath the school. To the shifting corridors and blood-slick stone.
To the Minotaur who rules it.
What he hunts, he claims.
What he chases, he catches.
And this time, I am the prize.
This standalone novella with a HFN ending has a tender note. Monstrous kisses, chosen proximity, and a happy-for-now ending await in this fast, fun novella set in the Chaos God universe. Perfect for readers who crave unexpected surprises in monster romance where everything is compatible, even the labels.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
