Monster Why-Choose Romance · The Long Valleys
The Winter Toll
One gatehouse. Two small rooms. Three wardens who have never once crossed her threshold. And the first great snow of winter has just closed the pass.
For a year Netta Kittow has kept the toll gate on Whinnet Pass beside its three road wardens, none of them human: Thole, a stone-kin so heavy he is sure he will break anything made for her; Severin, a towering antlered rider with the courtesies of a household she has never seen; and Avel, a near-silent cloud-kind whose pale feathers lift before the weather turns. All three have been scrupulously polite.
Snowed in for a week, the stove roaring until she is down to a shift and bare arms, the politeness cracks one man at a time, and Netta learns how differently large, and differently careful, each of them is.
Then she sees the year from their side: her own correct distance was the toll she charged them every day. And as the wood runs low, the coldest night of the winter will ask her to stop holding back.
Three monsters, one soft and very wanted heroine, explicit, open door. Standalone with a happy ending. Perfect for fans of Ruby Dixon and C.M. Nascosta.
