Jasmine Ghalib is having a bad day. Maybe even a bad decade. Desperate to pay back the loan sharks for her mother’s staggering medical bills, she will take any job available. Working as a foresting assistant should be a walk in the woods, right? Except, she has never spent a day in the forest in her life. Little does she know, her map is leading her to the boundary line of Beastly Falls, the cursed town where only fated mates are allowed to enter.

Once she crosses the invisible boundary, she’s trapped, hungry, and alone. Her greeting is less than friendly as she is chased into town by a fanged monster who identifies her uniform and takes offense that a tree killer would dare come into his town.

Loth Brucke, the fanged, grumpy, rich, naturalist troll who lives under the bridge is passionate about the forest, its life and trees. Unable to find love, his life goal is fighting the lumber company that threatens the surrounding forest.

While trying to hold a grudge, Jasmine is drawn to Loth’s passion, depth, and ripped body. Will Jasmine be able to move past the unfriendly beginnings to open herself up for love? Will Loth make room for Jasmine in his heart? How much of his beastly passion can he use on her?

Beastly Falls

In the heart of the mysterious town of Beastly Falls, the supernatural is more than just myth—it’s a way of life. Hidden from the world, this enchanted haven is home to creatures that walk the line between beasts and men, each bound by ancient curses and destined to find their fated mate. Here, love isn’t just a feeling, it’s an undeniable force that can heal the deepest wounds and shatter the most powerful curses.

Amber Lawson, a woman seeking refuge from an abusive past, stumbles upon Beastly Falls by chance. In this gothic, moonlit town, she finds a job as the night librarian of a centuries-old library, but what she doesn’t expect is to encounter Xavier Chauvre, a brooding gargoyle who is cursed to remain stone by day and human by night. Their connection is instant, but trust doesn’t come easy, especially when Amber is running from a past she can't escape, and Xavier’s time in human form is running out.

The town itself is as much a character as the people who inhabit it, its ancient magic weaving through every corner, every whisper of wind, and every flickering light. As Amber and Xavier’s bond deepens, they must face the shadows of their pasts and unravel the town’s many secrets before they can break the curse that binds them together. Each story in the Beastly Falls series offers a new supernatural creature, a new forbidden love, and a world full of dark magic, fated bonds, and the kind of romance that could only thrive in such a haunted place.

For those who love their romance with a touch of fantasy, danger, and the thrill of the unknown, Beastly Falls is a town that will stay with you long after the last page is turned. Will love be enough to break the ancient curses that bind them all? Only the fated can tell.
