Beast by Daphne Loveling

Once upon a time, I fell for a man. Then I met the Beast.

BROOKE
He’s huge. Dangerous. And angry. And I can never love him again.I left my hometown for a reason. Coming back was never part of the plan.But the job I came here to do is more important than my tortured past — and everything I left behind to escape it.Now I’m a federal agent, working a case deeply rooted in the community,And his club is in the middle of an investigation I’m about to crack wide open.We almost happened when I was younger. I was vulnerable. Innocent. Until it all got taken away from me.Since then, I’ve learned how to protect myself. How to size up danger and neutralize the threat. But Beast is an alpha male who won’t take no for an answer. And my heart isn’t listening to my head. I don’t want to fall for Beast again. I can’t get hurt again. But the harder I fight this attraction, the harder it becomes to resist.

BEAST
She left me and took what was left of my damn heart with her. Seeing Brooke again is something I swore I’d never do. But when she shows back up in our hometown, I can’t f*cking resist. I fell in love with her for a reason. And this time, she’s not f*cking running away from me. But Brooke is putting things in danger. She’s uncovering sh*t that’s hidden for a reason. My club, Lords of Carnage MC, could explode if she keeps f*cking digging. My d*ck wants her but my mind is stubborn, forcing me to keep my distance. I knew she’d get under my skin again. I knew I wouldn’t be able to resist after the first taste. I knew once my hands touched her f*cking skin I’d turn into the Beast she’s so afraid of. Except I’ve never followed any man’s rules. Not even my own.

Brooke is my f*cking property. My responsiblity. My damn woman. And I will do any-f*cking-thing to keep her safe.
