Entranced by the Basilisks
A human who opened the wrong magical book, her stern boss, and his “friend” who says he can help…
I’ve been cursed. Not metaphorically. Not, “Oh no! I spilled my coffee!” or “I broke a heel!”
No.
I’ve been cursed by a book and now I’m a danger to everyone I care about.
After finding out that the things that go bump in the night are real a few weeks ago, this is doing nothing for my peace of mind.
Pair it all with the fact that the boss I can hardly speak to seems to be the only one with any answers and the tension between him and the seductive expert he’s brought in…
The outlook for this group project is alarming… but my body is acting like it knows things my mind won’t yet accept.
Entranced by the Basilisks is a standalone monster romance in the same world as Stalked by the Kraken, but best read after Deceived by the Gargoyles. This book has two love interests who are also in a relationship with each other. There will be no choosing between the love interests.
Content Warning: This book includes descriptions of anxiety, snakes, deceptions and manipulations perpetrated by the love interest, and highly inaccurate snake anatomy.

Cozy Pairings
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.
