Rowan:

Moving to a tiny town for the summer was not ideal for a city bigfoot like me. My job in finance may be joyless but at least paid well and used to give me an office with a spectacular view. Not for the next two months. I'd be even more pissed off if Wendigo Hills wasn't surprisingly welcoming, and the barista in the coffee shop wasn't so damn cute.

Milo:

I was destined for chaos, not juggling work, debt, and school while visiting my last living family member, Ethel, in a nursing home.

It would have been another busy but boring summer if I hadn't followed great aunt Ethel's advice. I set my goal to get some action just as a hot and hairy bigfoot moved into my hometown.

What started as a summer fling quickly turned into heated dates and feelings neither of us expected. How will I survive the inevitable breakup when summer ends and Rowan goes back to Chicago?

• A fix-it with a hairy bigfoot and a chaotic human!

Coffee Shop Monster AU is a MM fanfiction style novel, based on the Canon short story written by AM Rose for the multi-author series Because Canon Sucks. From KC: This audiobook is an ode to fanfiction, this means a fictional author's unhinged notes appear at the beginning and end of some chapters, as often happens in fanfiction, it's also how I used to post fanfic as well. The notes are not a part of the main plot, and the author is a fictional character. If you're not interested in this addition to the storytelling, you can skip the notes - they are recorded separately.
