The Dream Bargain

She wrote the terms. He stayed for breakfast. Lara Howard understands contracts. She knows how to define risk, set limits, and close every loophole before desire has a chance to interfere. So when she hires Ikon, an incubus who specializes in consensual dream visitation, she arrives prepared. Three visits. Clear boundaries. No surprises beyond the fantasy itself. Every term spoken aloud, magically bound, and safely enforced.
Ikon accepts her contract. Then he enters her dreams. What begins as a precisely negotiated fantasy becomes something warmer, stranger, and far more intimate when Ikon starts breaking his own rules-not by taking more than Lara offered, but by staying longer than he should. One night becomes another. Aftercare turns into coffee. A temporary arrangement begins to feel like the start of something neither of them planned.
The contract is supposed to end after the third visit. But by then, Lara has to decide whether she wants the fantasy to stay safely contained.Or whether she is ready to choose the monster who wants more than a bargain. The Dream Bargain is a low-angst, high-heat monster romance novella featuring an attentive incubus hero, a competent contract attorney heroine, negotiated consent, dream visitation, contract kink, explicit open-door heat, aftercare, coffee, magical binding, and a sweet HEA.
