A cozy paranormal romance for readers who love small-town charm, slow-burn chemistry, and the kind of secrets that change everything.

When journalist Poppy Lockwood heads up Mountain Loop Highway to investigate a string of Bigfoot sightings near her hometown of Granite Falls, Washington, she expects local gossip and maybe a decent article. What she doesn't expect is massive footprints in the mud—or the strange magnetic pull she feels standing where something huge once stood.

Then she meets Abe Bigg, the quiet, red-haired owner of Bigg's Lumber. He's all flannel and sawdust, strong enough to split logs with his bare hands but gentle enough to blush when she flirts with him. He's the kind of steady, patient man her best friend Alex swears she needs after her ex broke her heart two years ago.

But as Poppy digs deeper into the Bigfoot mystery, strange things keep happening. Her research wall grows. Her connection to Abe intensifies. And that presence in the forest? It feels less like a story and more like fate.

When hunters arrive in Granite Falls looking for proof, Poppy realizes the truth might be closer than she ever imagined—and loving it could change everything.

Set in the misty forests of Washington's Cascade Mountains, Me & Mr. Bigg is a funny, heartfelt paranormal romance about community, second chances, and falling in love with someone who's more than he seems. Perfect for readers who want their romance cozy, their heroes cinnamon roll sweet, and their Bigfoot absolutely real.
