If you fell for the strange, tender premise of an impossible, handmade companion who upends one woman's ordinary life, Steeped is your next listen.

He's spent five hundred years failing to fall in love in time.

Every half-millennium, the curse gives Kaelan—son of Prometheus, thief of fire, punished long after his father—one day as something almost human. Twenty-four hours to make someone love him back, or he returns to being an object: a music box, a lantern, a coffeepot on someone's kitchen counter. Seven women. Seven failures. He's stopped expecting anyone to be the exception.

Callie Reyes just wanted her coffee. She didn't ask for a face to surface in the glass of her carafe, or a voice roughened by five centuries of silence, or a man—mostly a man—who looks at her like she might be his last chance.

She's been left before. Slowly, quietly, over years she didn't see coming. She knows better than to fall for someone running out of time.

She falls anyway.

With midnight closing in and eight failed cycles standing between them and forever, Callie has one day to decide if loving something impossible is worth the risk—and Kaelan has one day to prove that this time, the ending might finally be different.

A standalone monster/object romance with a full HEA. Explicit content, mythological curse mechanics, and a hero who is—structurally, unavoidably—also a coffeepot.
