Brooke: 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.

I don't want to fall for him again. I can't get hurt again. But the harder I fight this attraction, the harder it becomes to resist.

Beast: 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.

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 responsibility. My damn woman. And I will do any-f*cking-thing to keep her safe.
