The Beetle’s Hucow Pet

Hucows of Zairion Prime (Book 2) by Bethany Baker & Destiny Dairy

After two decades as an intergalactic refugee, Celeste has given up on finding a place where she belongs; she just wants a place to stay.

That place could be Zairion Prime, where mysterious half-man, half-bug Arthropoids turn women into hucow pets. To Celeste, as long as it’s predictable, it doesn’t need to be pleasant.

Razul isn’t in the market for a pet; he prefers the solitude of tending to his desert ranch of picky six-legged reptiles. But when he sees shy, hopeful Celeste, he can’t walk away.

With their translators off, there are no words to hide behind. They’re at the mercy of the most unpredictable force in the universe:

Love.

THE BEETLE’S HUCOW PET is a human (F) x beetle alien (M) romance (30k words, 130 pages) that features hucow transformation, pet play, language barrier, and ASD/ARFID representation. Soul-soothingly sweet yet relentlessly hot, it’s sure to make you say moo.
