Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

The most unexpectedly tender love story you will ever read about a woman who milks minotaurs for a living. Rourke will ruin you for human men.

Synopsis

Violet is a typical, down-on-her-luck millennial: mid-twenties, over-educated and drowning in debt, on the verge of moving into her parent’s basement. When a lifeline appears in the form of a very unconventional job in neighboring Cambric Creek, she has no choice but to grab at it with both hands. Morning Glory Milking Farm offers full-time hours, full benefits, and generous pay with no experience needed . . . there’s only one catch. The clientele is Grade A certified prime beef, with the manly, meaty endowments to match. Milking minotaurs isn’t something Violet ever considered as a career option, but she’s determined to turn the opportunity into a reversal of fortune. When a stern, deep-voiced client begins to specially request her for his milking sessions, maintaining her professionalism and keeping him out of her dreams is easier said than done. Violet is resolved to make a dent in her student loans and afford name-brand orange juice, and a one-sided crush on an out-of-her-league minotaur is not a part of her plan—unless her feelings aren’t so one-sided after all. Morning Glory Milking Farm is a short human/monster romance novel, featuring a high heat slow burn with a lot of heart, and a guaranteed HEA. CWs include: cock milking, non-human anatomy, size difference, and a lot of fluid. It is the first book in the Cambric Creek monster romance series, and can be read as a standalone.

At a Glance

The book that launched a thousand monster romance TBRs. Violet takes a job at a minotaur milking facility and catches feelings for the gentle giant Rourke. Way sweeter than the premise suggests—Nascosta balances explicit content with genuine emotional depth and a surprisingly cozy small-town vibe. Each Cambric Creek book follows different couples in the same monster-integrated community.
