She was never anyone's first choice. Until two dangerously possessive hockey players decided she was the only girl they'd ever want.

She's spent her entire life feeling like an afterthought.

Never the favorite.

Never the priority.

Never the girl someone would choose above everyone else.

Until one reckless decision changes everything.

One night.

One dark forest.

And two masked strangers who turn an ordinary mistake into something terrifyingly unforgettable.

They chase her through the woods.

Corner her in the darkness.

And awaken feelings she never expected to have.

Because fear isn't the only thing making her heart race.

Then she discovers who the mysterious men really are.

Hunter Kincaid and Atlas Trembley.

Two enormous hockey players.

Two members of the infamous South Shore Serpents.

And two men who have apparently decided she's theirs.

Atlas Trembley is six-foot-eight inches of pure trouble.

Infuriating.

Reckless.

And completely unapologetic.

He knows exactly how to get under her skin.

He pushes her buttons, steals from her, and seems to enjoy every second she spends plotting his demise.

The more she fights him, the more entertained he becomes.

Then there's Hunter Kincaid.

Six-foot-ten.

Silent.

Intimidating.

And dangerously decisive.

Hunter doesn't waste time explaining what he wants.

He simply makes his intentions known.

And what he wants is her.

Together, Hunter and Atlas are an impossible combination of chaos and control.

One provokes her until she's ready to scream.

The other watches her with a quiet intensity that leaves no room for doubt.

Neither has any intention of letting her feel unwanted again.

They even give her a nickname.

Little Titan.

A name that sounds suspiciously like a declaration that she belongs to them.

And the worst part?

She's beginning to like it.

Because beneath their intimidating appearances and outrageous behavior are two men who make her feel something she's never experienced before.

Chosen.

Wanted.

Cherished.

Whether they're arguing over marshmallows, driving her absolutely insane, or looking at her like she's the greatest thing that's ever happened to them, Hunter and Atlas are slowly breaking down every wall she's built around her heart.

And falling for one dangerous hockey player would be complicated enough. Falling for two might be completely irresistible.

But their unexpected happiness comes with a price.

Because Hunter has a past that refuses to stay buried.

And when old dangers begin threatening the fragile world they've created together, everything changes.

Suddenly, the two men who made her feel safe are forced to confront the darkness they've been trying to escape.

And she's about to discover just how far her Serpents will go to protect what's theirs.

They might be monsters to everyone else.

Dangerous.

Possessive.

And willing to cross lines most people wouldn't dare approach.

But to her, they're the first people who have ever made her feel like she truly belongs.

And when their relationship is threatened, walking away may no longer be an option.

Because Hunter and Atlas didn't just choose her.

They made her their only choice.

Dark, provocative, and packed with possessive romance, Monstrous Serpent delivers a high-heat why-choose hockey romance featuring two towering hockey players, a masked encounter in the woods, a silent and commanding hero, a chaotic troublemaker, and a heroine who finally discovers what it means to be wanted without hesitation.

Two monsters. One Little Titan. And a love that's anything but ordinary.
