He was made of bark and breath and need.
She was the first thing the land had loved in centuries.
When Nora Vale arrives in a remote Mojave town to settle her grandfather’s estate, she expects heat, solitude, and a place to unwind.
She doesn’t expect the feeling of being watched… or the way the land seems to pull her in.
Then the dreams begin.
Of a massive figure made of bark and shadow.
Of teeth at her throat. Hands on her skin. A voice like wind through stone.
It isn’t just in her head.
Something inhuman is waking beneath the desert—and it’s been waiting for her.
Beneath the Desert Bloom is a standalone monster romance and the first in the Of Beasts and Bloom series—a lush, steamy saga of transformation, devotion, and the creatures who guard forgotten wild places.
Steamy, mythic, and darkly romantic, it’s perfect for readers who like their monsters massive, their love stories feral, and their desert nights burning.
