The Minotaur's Medic
(2026)(The third book in the Monsters of the Hollow series)
A Story by Daphne Leigh
A doctor who walked away from medicine. A seven-foot-two minotaur cage fighter. And a paranormal speakeasy where getting stitched up is starting to feel a lot like foreplay.
Wes took the medbay job at The Hollow because it was everything a hospital wasn’t. No charts. No families waiting in hallways. Just monsters who bled, paid cash, and left when he finished stitching them up.
Then Tauron disappeared onto the fighting circuit for six months.
It didn’t help.
Wes has stitched the minotaur nine times in eighteen months. He knows the heat of Tauron’s skin through medical gloves, the way his thighs spread around Wes’s stool, and exactly how Doc sounds in that rough voice.
Every time Wes thinks about him, he gets hard.
Now Tauron is back on The Hollow’s fight card with six months’ worth of wanting between them. One kiss becomes one night, and once Wes learns exactly how sensitive a minotaur’s horns can be, keeping this casual starts looking increasingly unlikely.
The problem is Tauron still fights. Wes already walked away from one life because there was someone he couldn’t save, and now the man he wants most keeps climbing willingly into a cage and coming back to his medbay bleeding.
Tauron can survive almost anything.
Wes is getting very tired of watching him prove it.
✦ Tropes: monster romance, minotaur MMC, doctor / cage fighter, size difference, medical caretaking, hurt/comfort, mutual obsession, he falls first, sensitive horns, monster anatomy, locking, praise & dirty talk, underground fight club, ‘stop getting hurt for my attention,’ HEA guaranteed
✦ Heat: five chili peppers
✦ Book 3 of Monsters of the Hollow—each book is standalone, centered on one human and one monster, set in the same underground paranormal speakeasy in a no-name American city. New monster, new POV, new HEA every book.
