"It's hard to be free when a beast owns you." Allyson Montgomery is a normal adult woman, she pays her bills and works her job. She has no relatives and nothing that makes her truly stand out from everyone else. The beast is exactly what he sounds like; he is ruthless, heartless and brutal. He doesn't care who he hurts or how they are affected, he only cares about himself and his goals. When Allyson comes into his life, he cannot wait to get his hands on a new play toy. He is possessive of his possessions, and his new possession is not one that he wants to share.
