Jorax by Alana Khan
A haunted house. A masquerade ball. A monster in a lab coat.
Syrryn
I came to this alien research facility to help cure a deadly disease—not to fall for the massive, stitched-up monster who works late in the back lab. Jorax is brilliant, brooding, and terrifying at first glance… but his hands are steady, his voice is gentle, and the way he touches me—like I’m sacred—undoes me completely.
Jorax
Syrryn is everything I was told I could never have. She’s clever and kind, radiant and fierce. And when she looks at me like I’m not broken—like I’m hers—I lose all reason. I’d burn down the world to worship her body and protect her heart. But someone like her could never truly want someone like me. Could she?
As Halloween night descends and the masks come off, Syrryn must decide what really matters: a handsome lie… or the monster who makes her feel more desired, more cherished, and more alive than anyone ever has.
