One dirty, wet pussy changed my life…
I was trying to coax a feral cat from under a dumpster when I witnessed a murder. A cut-and-dry case, the police said. The assailant probably never saw me, so I was in no danger, they said.
They were wrong.
Now a ruthless criminal is determined to silence me, and my only hope for survival comes in the form of a towering, genetically engineered monster with hot, piercing red eyes and claws that can cut through steel—and wrap me in a gentle hug.
Created as a super soldier, Thurl becomes my bodyguard—one who makes my body sing. He may be a beast, but my body and brain say he’s safe. He says we’re mates, which means forever. I don’t know if I’m ready for forever.
When my enemies close in, I have to make a choice:
Bind my life to a monster, or give up the one creature who sets my body and soul on fire?
