About The Book:
After a wedding cake catastrophe, local decorator Tegan finds herself being helped by a solid wall of fur and fangs named Atlas. She’s never met anyone like him and finds herself enamored by his wolfish charm. After their sweet encounter, Atlas invites her to his gym anytime she needs his cake lifting services.
Tegan decides that instead- she wants to lift the cakes herself. She signs up for a membership with Leviathan Fitness, determined to build her strength.
Primal desires emerge as Atlas and Tegan test just how much their new love can lift— and if there are any limits to what monsters and humans can do.

About The Author:
Hi, I’m Ashley, an almost 34 year old author from Baltimore, Maryland. Fueled by a concerning amount of energy drinks, I write small-town paranormal and monster romance with equal measures of spice and swoon.
Before pursuing writing full time, I worked as a veterinary technician for thirteen years, amassing a menagerie of rescue animals who changed my life just as much as I changed theirs.
When I’m not writing, you can find me enjoying life beside my furry (and scaly companions!), reading webtoons, or perusing the aisles of Costco with a cart full of things I didn’t know I needed.
