Bred In The Mire. Hollow Heat, #2

The Hollow waits in the mire. It does not ask. It takes. When she wanders into the swamp, she meets a creature older than the trees and hungrier than the dark water beneath her feet. What begins as terror becomes something far more complicated. The Hollow does not let go once it has chosen, and she finds herself claimed, kept, and changed by the bond that follows. Drawn into a fever of desire, she battles fear and fascination in equal measure.
The encounters are raw and overwhelming, but tenderness grows in their wake-moments of holding, of whispered belonging, of care after the storm. What should have destroyed her instead awakens a heat that refuses to fade. Set in a world of shadows, roots, and rain-slick earth, this dark paranormal romance follows a heroine tangled in obsession and a creature bound by ancient hunger. Their connection blurs the line between danger and devotion, leaving only the question of whether surrender can lead to survival-or something deeper.
Bred In The Mire is part of the Hollow Heat series, a set of standalone but interconnected stories. Expect primal passion, haunting atmosphere, and an ending that offers its own dark kind of promise.
