Happy December monster lovers!

It is with great pleasure that I finally reveal this glorious monster clinch cover for UNTETHERING DARK, my bloody and bewitching Yuletide fairytale coming this winter from Harlequin.

The story is set in the Black Forest of modern day Germany, featuring a winter hag-in-training and a monstrous Paleolithic forest god who band together to protect the forest they call home from poachers and a rising supernatural threat.

This book has been three years in the making and is my love letter to all things monsters, horror, and romance.

If you devoured any of these titles…

•Sing Me to Sleep by R.M. Virtues

•A Soul to Keep by Opal Reyne

•A Strip of Velvet by Rien Gray

•Hexennacht by C.M. Nascosta

•Christmas with the Horned God by Aveda Vice

•Paddled by Krampus by Harley Laroux

•A Very Krampus Holiday by Katee Robert

…you may enjoy UNTETHERING DARK.

UNTETHERING DARK is a digital-only title releasing February 4, 2025 from Harlequin, and is available for preorder. It’s their first monster romance, which I’m wildly excited about <3 I hope there will be many, many more to follow.
