I Accidentally Made a Sentient Wicker Man and Now Human Men Seem Disappointing
(2026)(The first book in the Build-A-Boyfriend series)
A Story by Nova Sloane
Nora Fitch weaves baskets. She does not weave men.
Then the Harvest Committee asks her to build this year's wicker man, and Nora, three glasses of wine deep and six weeks out of a relationship, weaves in a few personal touches.
Nothing scandalous. Just the shoulders. And the hands…
By morning he has a name, an opinion about her playlist, and a body that quietly rearranges itself every single time she blushes. He negotiated himself down from twelve feet to a very reasonable six foot two, because he noticed she had to stand on a stool to look him in the eye, and he didn’t care for that.
Wick was built to burn. That is the entire point of him. Every October the town torches the effigy, drinks cider, and calls it tradition.
But Wick learns. Wick wants. And the more Nora touches him, the better he gets at figuring out exactly what she likes, and the more inventive he gets about giving it to her.
The bonfire is nine days out. The committee wants their wicker man.
He was built to be burned. She would rather let the whole town go up first.
A spicy paranormal romantic comedy featuring:
