Clark
I’ve had it up to here with my Hollywood career. Being the grandson of one of the original horror movie greats is all well and good, but I think I’d like to be on the other side of the camera, especially after a tricky stunt goes wrong. It’s time I consider what I really want to do with my life, and I know just the place to figure it out. I’m heading home to paranormal-friendly Pine Ridge for a peaceful holiday. Alone.
Except that there’s someone already in the old family homestead when I arrive, and a freak blizzard makes it impossible for either of us to leave.

I thought the world of scholarly research and publishing would be the perfect fit for my shy, introverted self, but it turns out the ivy-covered halls of academia are filled with power plays and cut-throat tactics. After a shocking betrayal torpedoes my doctoral research project, I have to get away from it all. I rent a house in a little mountain town I’ve never heard of, sure that three weeks of utter solitude without distractions will get me back on track.
Except that there’s another person in the house. A person who turns out to be a literal monster—one who treats me better than any of the ‘gentlemen’ I’ve ever met. When a blizzard traps us together, icy silences soon turn to sparks, and things are heating up faster than the logs in the fireplace.
I’m suddenly snowed in with a swamp monster who’s melting the ice around my heart. The question is, what’s going to happen when the snow melts, too, and we can go our separate ways?
Snowed in with the Swamp Monster is a steamy standalone in the Pine Ridge Universe.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
