Ocean shoved at his chest, but Lucas didn't budge. He stayed right there, crowding her. "Move," she snapped, heat in her voice. He didn't. His presence pressed against her, every breath of his filling the little space she had left. Her hands curled tight at her sides. "You don't give me a second.

And that-more than any words-set her blood boiling. -- A stubborn college girl thinks she's untouchable-until she collides with him. The Beast. A force wrapped in shadow and hunger. One meeting shatters her defenses. Her control slips. Her rules burn. And for the first time, she isn't the one in charge.

Stay on the phone, you hear me? Shy? Stay-" The car screeched to a stop. ---------------------------- It was just a ride home. One click on the Uber app and eighteen-year-old, exotic dancer, Shyanne Dudley thought she'd be back in her room in no time. But she never made it home. What started as an ordinary night at the club spiraled into a nightmare when the man behind the wheel wasn't what she expected. Stolen from the safety of the place she grew to love, Shyanne is thrust into a world of shadows where every locked door and whispered threat pushes her closer to the edge. And when she realizes she's pregnant-with his child-the fight to survive becomes a fight to protect something even more fragile than herself.

Her siren ebony eyes sang to him a beautiful melody of fear so hypnotizing that he could not find it in himself to look away. For the first time, he felt his heartbeat drumming violently against his ribcage, a reaction to her call. He heard her song, and he was coming.
