Found by the Lake Monster

A lake monster in heat, a lost human in the woods, and the lie that gets her stuffed…

Getting lost in the woods was not the adventure Amy had in mind when she jumped at the chance to search for the local lake monster. She just wanted to liven up her steady but boring life, not wonder if every shadow on the ground is a snake and worry that no one will ever find her.

Luckily, someone does find her.

Unexpectedly, that person isn't human.

Wildly, he seems to think that she's his date.

Adrian faces what could be his last heat. As his temperature rises and his biological clock ticks, his only hope is that the witch being sent by a famous matchmaker will be as compatible as he dreams.

Can he convince his date to not only provide relief during his heat but also carry his eggs?

Found by the Lake Monster takes place in the same world as Stalked by the Kraken and includes breeding, knotting, and oviposition.

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Kraken

Kraken is a deep and woodsy fragrance that blends weathered driftwood with rich tobacco and worn leather. Smooth and grounding, this scent carries a subtle saltiness balanced by warm, earthy notes that create a sense of depth and character. The combination feels both rugged and refined, with a softness that lingers in the air. Layered and atmospheric, it feels expansive while remaining warm and inviting.

Why we chose this: A matchmaking witch and a kraken who found her. A curvy librarian and three gargoyles who were not what she expected. A human cursed by a magical book and the two basilisks with answers. A thief who broke into a dragon's hoard and walked away with more than she planned. These stories are set in a world where ancient, powerful creatures keep finding their way to the humans who are exactly right for them, and the sea, the shadows, and the old magic are always present. Kraken carries the deep, weathered, open-water atmosphere of a series where desire is as vast and ancient as the creatures themselves, salt-worn driftwood and rich tobacco and the scent of something that has been waiting in the depths for a very long time. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the atmospheric depth fill the room like a bathhouse where the magic runs in the water and the matches are never quite what anyone expected.
