The Centaur Next Door

Amanda didn't expect much from her evening - just the drive back from Cannes, the heat, and the familiar silence of the chemin du Burel. She certainly didn't expect Kokuo, her centaur neighbor, to invite her in for tea. What begins as an awkward conversation about a cat named Tchoin becomes something far more dangerous. Kokuo is massive, patient, and very aware of exactly what Amanda is trying to hide.
And Kopiko, his deadpan copper golem, is absolutely no help at all. A slow-burn paranormal romance set in the hills above Mougins, where the heat of late summer makes everything - and everyone - harder to resist.
