The Kraken's Claim (Bathhouse Beasts #12)

A busted shoulder. A secret bathhouse. And a kraken who heals with pleasure.

Zeke is a blue-collar guy whose entire life revolves around construction. When a torn shoulder benches him for six agonizing weeks, he’s losing his mind from the pain and the boredom. Desperate for relief, he visits an exclusive, monsters-only bathhouse to soak his aching muscles in the steam.

After a deeply relaxing encounter with the bathhouse’s werewolf owner, Zeke is offered a permanent, magical solution to his injury down in the basement. He expects a massage. He doesn't expect to wade into a bioluminescent pool and meet a massive, ancient kraken with a gorgeous humanoid torso and dozens of hypnotic tentacles.

The sea monster has a very specific, highly unconventional method of healing through mind-bending pleasure. As the kraken binds him and pumps him full of restorative magic, Zeke’s pain completely dissolves. Suddenly, going back to work early is the last thing on his mind. He still has five weeks of medical leave left, and he plans to spend every single second of it getting wrecked by the beast.

MM monster romance, bathhouse setting, blue-collar hero, tentacle play, magical healing, size difference, and the best physical therapy session of his life.
