The Hornet’s Hucow Pet

Hucows of Zairion Prime (Book 3) by Bethany Baker & Destiny Dairy

Nova has always seen too much: twenty years ago, when she watched Earth crumble through a tiny viewport, and certainly now, when she realizes the “puzzles” she’s employed to solve have life-or-death consequences.

Seeking a cure for her chronic pain, she flees to Zairion Prime, where mysterious half-man, half-bug Arthropoids turn women into hucow pets.

Dr. Zyren only ever meant to get a hucow for his patients. But when he examines Nova, he can’t leave her pain untreated.

As possessive passion burns through both of their defenses, hope becomes her greatest fear, soothed only by his solemn guarantee: “I can’t promise I’ll cure your pain… but I can promise every time you hurt, you hurt for me.”

THE HORNET’S HUCOW PET is a human (F) x hornet alien (M) romance (30k words, 130 pages) that features hucow transformation, pet play, medical themes, and POTS/chronic pain representation. Soul-soothingly sweet yet relentlessly hot, it’s sure to make you say moo.
