Brined For Him (A Pickle Rom Com Novel) - Paperback
by Ember Lark (Author)
The Holloway Fermentation Works smelled like salt, metal, and something faintly alive.
When Mara Holloway inherits her great-aunt's pickle factory, she expects debt and decay-not the ancient entity bound beneath the vats. Brannoch has waited centuries, sustained by brine and starved for touch. Their first meeting ignites more than heat; it awakens a hunger that threatens to consume them both.
As divine politics collide with human bureaucracy, Mara discovers her desire doesn't just feed Brannoch-it reshapes the laws of reality itself. But when gods and governments alike try to claim what she's built, Mara must choose: surrender to the old rules, or forge a sovereignty that burns without destroying.
Some hungers are worth the salt.
A blistering erotic fantasy about power, pleasure, and the price of choosing yourself.
