He was carved from the forbidden woods, bound by an ancient spell, and completely devoted to his new wife in the most unhinged way possible.
With her famous toy-making father missing, and mounting debts threatening their livelihood, Josie Carpenter does the unthinkable to save her workshop before Oakhaven's massive Halloween festival. She uncovers a family secret, crafts a guardian from forbidden heartwood timber, and makes a desperate wish.
She didn't expect the grain to shift, the wood to warm, or the creature she created to wake up!
Towering at seven feet tall, the splintered, wooden giant immediately claims Josie as his wife through their unbreakable magical bond. He doesn’t care about human laws or the local bankers threatening foreclosure—he only answers to her voice. The more she praises his protection, the more dangerously obsessed and utterly shameless he becomes in his quest to earn her approval.
But as the spell lifts the veil from her eyes, Josie realizes her quirky tourist town is actually a sanctuary for ruthless paranormal creatures. To save her father from this hidden supernatural underworld, she must rely on her best friend Jamiah and survive a treacherous rescue mission—all while trying not to fall in love with the terrifying, unyielding monster who already claims her heart and soul.
Featuring a 7ft tall wooden monster hero with a unhinged praise kink, forced proximity, "touch her and get chopped" energy, and a guaranteed HEA, this dark rom-com retelling of Pinocchio is perfect for readers looking for a spooky novella to snuggle up with this Halloween!
Expected Release Date: November 9, 2026!
