Synopsis

**He has a beastly instinct to devour everything in his path … until her.** I am the giant, menacing monster, known only as the Beast. Sold to the mafia as a kid and trained to hunt, my life revolves around brutality and carnage. My home is a cell made of concrete and iron bars. And there is nothing I won’t do to be free. Until her. The innocent black-haired girl with pretty pink lips, whose father I was supposed to hunt, dares to get in my way. But when I grab her and look into her eyes, I can’t bring myself to finish the job. She makes me feel hope. Greed. And a frenzied desire to touch her. Taste her. Make her mine. I was supposed to destroy everything in my path. Instead, I took her … and consumed her whole. Book 1 in the Beast & Beauty Duet.
