My father took out a loan and can’t repay it—so now I’ll have to become a toy in the hands of people whose habits are more beastly than human. One of them, Erik, maimed a man when he stepped in for me. Strong, handsome, influential—he can help repay the debt, but he scares me and finds me everywhere, like he can smell my presence. I’m not ready to be “a good girl” for any of them, but it seems I’m being pursued not only by beasts. ❤ First love ❤ A hurricane of emotions ❤ Persistent hero ❤ Stubborn heroine ❤ HE
