Big Enough to Bite

In a town full of monsters, love might be the scariest thing of all.

Harmony Glen’s been my home since the town welcomed my kind with open arms. It’s a safe haven for monsters like me. It’s been fun living amongst humans. Over time, all types of people have begun calling this place home. Now, there’s a new vampire in town.

She walks through the park at night, sometimes singing soft, haunting melodies. Her voice hooked me from the first note. I watch from the shadows, drawn to her. So when she asks me to build a stone wall in her garden, I say yes-fast. I lay bricks by day and try to win her over with charm, but she’s slow to trust. I long to uncover the secrets of her past and be a part of her future. Maybe a giant isn’t what she’s looking for. But my heart’s already hers, whether she wants it or not.

Mari

I was born in 1869 in a small Romanian village. My people were wanderers. After I was turned into a vampire at twenty, I left my family-but not by choice. My maker was a monster in more ways than one, and it took many decades to escape him.

The Great Revelation exposed us to the world; fear and curiosity followed. I’ve searched several lifetimes for a place to belong. Harmony Glen is the first town that might actually feel like home. The creatures and humans here are kind, even when I’m not. It might have been a mistake to invite a giant into my garden, but I couldn’t resist. He’s steady, gentle, and strong in every way that matters. He makes my fangs ache-and he might just be big enough to bite.
