Claimed by the Lamia Bride. Monster Girl Bride Series - Book 1 - M.C. Lewis

Scholar Elias Grimwood inherits the crumbling, cursed Grimwood Manor and discovers an ancient blood pact binding him to Seraphine, the immortal lamia who has guarded the estate for centuries. Reluctant at first, Elias signs the contract and is immediately claimed by the regal, powerful serpent woman. As Seraphine's heat awakens, the two share intense, passionate nights filled with tail play, venom-laced pleasure, and raw breeding. Their bond deepens through domestic life in the manor: helping Seraphine shed her skin, building a nursery, and raising their three hybrid lamia daughters. Through seasons of love, family milestones, and tender (and extremely spicy) intimacy, Elias fully embraces his role as mate and father. The story ends with a heartfelt HEA as the family thrives in a home that has finally become a true sanctuary of coils, warmth, and forever.
