Claimed by the Midnight Beast: An MM Possessive Monster Romance

The monster in the shadows has been watching me my entire life. Now he wants more than my blood. He wants my surrender. Eli Thatcher has spent twenty-nine years perfecting the art of disappearing. A night auditor at a rundown inn. A studio apartment with a view of a brick wall. A life so small and controlled that nothing can touch him. No one can hurt him. No one can see the crescent-moon birthmark on his hip or the loneliness he wears like a second skin. Then the howl comes. The Midnight Beast is seven feet of claw and shadow and ancient hunger. He has waited three thousand years for a vessel strong enough to complete the bond. He has watched Eli's mother die. Watched his grandmother go mad. Watched the mark pass through bloodlines until it finally settled on the one man who refused to break. Now the Beast is done watching. He will claim Eli before the full moon rises. Not with force. Not with fear. With something far more dangerous. Permission. Because Eli has a choice. Surrender to the Beast and live as his equal. Or refuse and die within a year, hunted by rivals who want the mark for themselves. Either way, the Midnight Beast is not letting go. This is an MM possessive monster romance featuring a fiercely guarded human, an ancient beast who worships every crack in his armor, and a bond that will either save them both or burn everything down. Expect claws, growls, moonlit forests, and a happy ending that earns every scar. Book One of the Touched by the Moonborn series.
