A long-distance romance with a mythic match

Pam Rollins is re-entering the dating world after her children have moved out, beginning yoga and trying a dating app at her daughter’s suggestion. There she meets Alistair Reid, a minotaur whose kindness and generosity make an unexpected impression. Their connection grows across the distance between their separate homes and established lives, putting the question of a shared future at the heart of this romantic comedy. The premise pairs later-life dating and an empty-nest transition with a monster-romance setup, while keeping the practical challenge of long-distance love in view.

Book overview

REVISED AND EXPANDED

A single mom decides to take life--and love--by the horns as she falls for a hunky minotaur in this steamy monster romance.


Pam Rollins is ready to date again after spending the last few years alone.

Alistair Reid is the kind of swoon-worthy monster that every woman dreams of. After one date, Pam is feeling hopeful in love for the first time ever--and Alistair has fallen head over hoof for her. The only problem: they live states apart and have thriving lives of their own.

However, as romance blooms, it becomes harder to envision a future without the other in it. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, after all....
