All of his life, Grayson Blackpaw lived by the rules of the half-breeds. He heeded the warnings and fought to keep the animal within under control, only to have his father murdered by the very thing his kind could never harm. Even if it means cursing himself to spend the rest of his days as a beast, Grayson was going to find the human responsible and make them payβwith their life.
Shapeshifters exist. Summer Jenkins wouldnβt have believed it herself, if she hadnβt watched a cougar change into a man before her very eyes. It doesnβt hurt when the man is as delectable as Grayson, either. Utterly droolworthy, Grayson sends her pulse racing and her heart falling…fast. But when Grayson admits that heβs willing to give up everything for the sake of revenge, will love be enough or can nothing stop the curse of the beast?
Excerpt:
Summer inched over on the couch until her knees brushed against his, and she placed her hand on his thigh. It was a simple gesture of reassurance but the heat of her hand seeped through the denim, branding his skin and shooting higher. Desire flooded his veins and Summerβs breathing hitched when she felt it course through him. βHe wasnβt the only one to touch me in some way, Grayson.β
Beginning to slowly make her way up his inner leg, Grayson grabbed her wrist before she closed what little distance there was left. If she made it to her destination, he wouldnβt be able to stop himself. He was already growing rigid in mere anticipation of her touching his length. If she actually made contact, he would lose what little restraint he held on to.
βSummer. I would like nothing more than to pull that dress up, plunge deep inside and take you over and over again, letting you know exactly how much I want you. But, we canβt. I wonβt take the chance of hurting you.β
βYouβre not going to hurt me. Worrying that you will is enough for me to know that you wonβt.β
βYou canβt know that because even I donβt. Summer, you need to understand thereβs a chance I will do exactly that.β Grayson shook his head and took a breath. He wasnβt sure he could explain the constant battle of wills that had been waging inside of him for as long as he could remember, or how heβd been losing, but he needed to try. It wasnβt him just being overly cautious, there was a real danger. If he lost what little hold he had on the cougar while he was with her, he didnβt know what would or could happen. Grayson didnβt even want to think of the possibilities. βThe lure of our animal halves is strong. The more we give in to them, the stronger they become. The stronger they become, the more we give in to them. Without something to stop the progression, the animal and its instincts become the predominant half and slowly overpower the humanβs ability to remain in control.β
βSo the worst that can happen is you shift into the cougar. I can handleβ¦β
Grayson shook his head to cut her off. That damn stubbornness of hers was more than a little frustrating. βNo Summer, you canβt. The worst that can happen is not the cougar. Itβs the beast.β
