The Price On Her Head A Monster Romance

She's brought down hundreds of creatures, but this hunt might be her last... Consummate hunter Myrine's one focus in life is keeping her son Zale safe. Sometimes the danger is the wild animals that prowl outside the city of Kepithos. Sometimes the threat is the memory of a lethal plague that once decimated the townsfolk. But in the forefront of her mind is always the sacrifice of ten children every five years to the vicious minotaur that lives beneath the king's castle—a ritualistic practice to keep the plague at bay. So when it's discovered that the minotaur has escaped its labyrinth, an enormous bounty to hunt it down is on the line. It's not just to keep the forests safe. It's to assure that the deities will not punish them for letting their weapon run loose. When Zale comes down with an illness that mimics early symptoms of the previous plague, Myrine's one hope for his healing is to take down this creature, receive the bounty, and pay the doctor's high fee for both medicine and silence. The last thing she needs is a city full of panicked citizens considering his sickness an omen. But a chance encounter in the forest shows her that everything she was taught was a lie. This minotaur is no mindless monster. Her name is Eleonora, and they have far more in common than they could ever imagine. The Price on Her Head is a 30,000-word monster romance novella. It features a trans F/F pairing involving a human woman and a female minotaur. This book is intended only for adult audiences.
