Primal Basilisk by Terry Bolryder

A single mom afraid to love, a dangerous legend and a monster who will do everything to protect the family he cares about.

Diesel is notorious for being the biggest, strongest and most protective basilisk of the group. But he’s also still figuring out the whole “mate” thing. That is, until an assignment to a curious corner of Texas brings him face-to-face with a curvy woman with flame-red hair and wary eyes. And though the monster inside him roars to claim her, it’s clear she isn’t looking for a partner. Or so it would seem.

Morgan Seward is just trying to get by as a single mom. But when she watches a man turn into a gigantic beast in order to fight off a vicious creature attacking her home, the whole world feels like it’s ending. But then she meets him in person, and all that changes. And though she tries to fight her attraction to him, his intense protectiveness is matched only by his rugged good looks. But love isn’t safe for Morgan, even if Diesel is the ideal man in every way.

Fun evenings and cute moments quickly turn into steamy nights of pleasure for the two lovers, as Diesel realizes he’s found his reason for being in this harsh new world. But Morgan’s past still haunts her, the memories of what she’s lost almost too much to bear. And to makes things worse, an ancient legend in town is swiftly becoming a dangerous possibility for Diesel and the others. And it will take all the strength and courage the fated couple can muster to fight off the terrifying monsters that threaten to tear them apart.
