Kassie has always preferred monsters to men.
A gothic gamer with black-cat energy and a thriving streaming channel, she spends her nights lost in dark fantasy worlds and monster romance novels. Real men have never held her interest, not after watching her mother's heartbreak teach her exactly how fragile love can be.
Kassie sticks to what's safe: her games, her books, and the secret wish that monsters might actually exist.
When her best friend Harlow invites her to move to the strange little town of Arcana Falls, Kassie doesn't hesitate. The place practically hums with odd energy, whispered legends, and the kind of weird she's always loved. The two of them settle into their new home, ready to embrace the town's eerie charm.
But within her first few days, Kassie discovers Arcana Falls isn't just strange.
It's supernatural.
And the quiet, unexpected man she meets may be exactly the kind of monster she's been longing for.
Atlas has never quite fit in, even among mothmen.
Bigger than most, broad-armed and thick through the waist, he spends his days chopping timber from the forbidden forest to help craft furniture for the colony. Hard work suits him. Social grace does not. He trips over his own feet, prefers silence to conversation, and finds comfort in hot chocolate and late-night nature documentaries.
Since drinking from the Falls, Atlas has lived a simple, peaceful life... though one thing about him has never been simple: his mating call is far too strong.
So when the Slenderman mayor asks him to keep an eye on the new human in town, the strange woman who hisses at people, Atlas is reluctant.
Until he sees her.
She's different. Unpredictable. Magnetic.
And for the first time in Arcana Falls history, a mothman feels the pull of a match.
Atlas may be in over his head...
and rest of the town is about to be swept along with him.
