He's like a machine. He hates to be touched. He hates anything to be non-sanitized. He can't stand human emotion. He fakes a personality, just to seem okay. He hates technology, but is nothing without it. He's a professor to the class, but supposed to be a student. He teaches the same thing everyday, but was meant to be there only to learn. And then he loses control, unable to be a machine any longer, he begins to realize worshiping technology is nothing but a curse. He holds the life of an introvert, the life of a mad man, and he admits to it. All of it. ~~ "You're useless. Nothing but a controlled soul in a shell of a body." "Then just label me a machine, there is nothing more insane than that."

Sophie Cartwright is an overworked, exhausted, down-on-her-luck single mother to eight year old, Maddie. She has bills up to her eyeballs, an academically challenged daughter who refuses to go to school, and an ex with an ego the size of a small country. Just as life seems to be getting on top of her, and there appears to be no way out, she meets American Noah Bentley, a self-proclaimed piano man, and the new musician hired to play at the piano bar where she works. In normal circumstances, Noah and Sophie would have never crossed paths. They come from completely different worlds - literally. But each has something the other needs ... and the ability to change the other's life for the better.

King Heloix, on the other hand, is known for his ruthlessness. He has little tolerance for his fellow Beasts, and even less for humans. Rumors are that his servants are often killed as punishment for even the smallest mishaps, and to survive even a year while working for him is an accomplishment. When Adeline is transferred to King Heloix's castle, it takes him only seconds to recognize who she is to him. Will he accept her as his mate or reject her existence? ⚠️THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE AND TRIGGERING THEMES⚠️

Please...don't hurt me! I just want to go home!" I yelled at the large humaniod creature that was standing by the fire pit. My side hurt, I was bleeding out, everything was starting to go blurry from the blood loss and I saw the creature cock it's head, a soft clicking noise came from behind the emotionless mask. "You can't leave" the voice was rough and deep...fear shot through me. My eyes got big and I stared at him with despair and fear, those were the words that I did not want to hear, least of all from him. "W-why?" It was quiet as we stared at each other, at last he spoke...but it wasn't what I was expecting. "Because...you're mine"
