Matt: Only I could end up in a love triangle between two people.
Caleb: Your geometry has a certain logic, given our circumstances.
Caleb: Except it can’t be “only” you since you’re conveniently forgetting the second person in this triangle.
Matt: I am not. You’re unforgettable.
Matt: I see you preening over there.
Caleb: What can I say? When you look as good as I do—
Matt: Hush, huldrekall. And by the way, no one’s going to know what a huldrekall is.
Caleb: Some will.
Matt: But for those who don’t, do you think we should tell them?
Caleb: No. Let them find out by reading the book.
Matt: Are you also going to tell them how you made getting me in your bed the subject of an ill-advised bet with your frat brothers? Or are you going to keep that from them the way you kept it from me?
Caleb: How many times do I have to apologize?
Matt: Once more.
Caleb: I’m sorry, love of my life.
Matt: Apology accepted.
Caleb: Other Alpha Claw Omega business goes to the grave, though.
Matt: Except when it doesn’t. There was that time when you had to streak across campus. Tons of people saw.
Caleb: It wasn’t that many people.
Caleb: Besides, babes, if you want my tail, you just have to ask for it.
Matt: Are you going to tell them about the book?
Caleb: No. They have to read it for themselves.
Matt: At least give them a hint.
Caleb: Fine. They can read the list of tropes.
Matt: You’re so generous.
Caleb: Don’t give away my secret.
You’re formally readmitted to Creelin University, known locally as “Creepin U.” The only things wilder than the monsters prowling around campus are the spicy male/male love stories unfolding between classes. Book one, Boy Meets Monster is a stand-alone m/m romance. This spicy novel is about a rich, cocky frat boy and a nerdy teaching assistant who needs lessons in confidence. Read it if you love a monster who takes one look at a human and says, “That one. I want him.” And then he spends the rest of the book proving that he’s good enough for the human. It’s part of the Creepin U: Season 2 collab series, and each book has a HEA.
