Hoards and HousematesA spicy cozy monster romance with a grumpy dragon shifter in a magical house

A grumpy dragon landlord. A barefoot barista with boundary issues. A sentient Victorian house full of secrets, and one very judgmental cat.
If you love slow-burn monster romance, magical roommates, and found family in a house that probably rearranges the furniture just to spite you, you're about to fall hoard-over-heart for Hoards and Housemates.

When Maya Bright loses her apartment thanks to a runaway roommate and a cursed toaster (don’t ask), she stumbles across a suspiciously affordable room in a crumbling old mansion at the edge of town. The ad is weird. The rules are weirder. But rent is cheap, and Maya is desperate.

Her new landlord? Rhogan Veyr: towering, mysterious, and so grumpy he might be allergic to smiling. Also, a dragon shifter. He's got horns, golden slit-pupiled eyes, and a habit of disappearing into doorways that weren’t there a second ago.

The house? Definitely alive. The cat? May be cursed. The workmates? A supportive banshee and selkie duo.

Now Maya’s navigating enchanted rooms, secret hoards of emotionally significant trinkets, and a growing attraction to her infuriating housemate who hoards books like treasure and avoids feelings like the plague. But when wings are finally revealed, and hoarded memories come to light, Maya has to decide: is she just another item in his collection or is she the heart of his hoard?
